Since my collection #ChambersOfTheHeart is being reviewed on Instagram, I thought I'd read a few words from highlighted stories.
@Bibliopeeks liked "Fountainhead", so here's the opening paragraph.
My latest #story is out! "Voter Fraught" is the story most closely related to my day job, about voting and public participation (but also a grandfather and his grandchild). It's in the just-released #anthology #TransformTheWorld, the third in a series of forward-looking SFF anthologies from @otherworlds. This one has some great stories in it!

Transform the World

"Today I swam through MOMA. Leon says it was a waste, encasing the art, then flooding the museum—frivolous and elitist. I say it was a gesture of optimism, a triumph of technology and political will." Want to thrill to the possibilities of a hopeful future? We asked a bunch of sci-fi writers to spin tales of a better future, imagining ways in which the world might become a better place. From a swim through an underwater museum to a joyous dance at a futuristic concert, from the eco-friendly aftermath of an alien invasion and retreat to the refurbishing of an old climate-ravaged home in New Vancouver, these fourteen short sci-fi stories will to restore your faith in the future. A world transformed is a world we can all hope for. Book three in the Writers Save the World short story anthologies. If you enjoy this book, check out Fix the World and Save the World.

For years, I've seen pictures of #WesternTanagers while looking up other #birds, and thought it would be great to see one in person.

Yesterday was the day. One flew right by, then perched and danced around a bit for us. Near Sisters, OR, USA

(Not my picture, sadly)
