Part 2 of my novelette Code Switching is live on Escape Pod, hosted by Valerie Valdes and narrated by Dominick Rabrun, C.S.E. Cooney and Laurice White:
Stanford Sutton and the NCAA offer Jean-Michel the opportunity for Electric Resurrection with no strings attached, but war breaks out between the Sovereign State of Chicago and the State of Illinois.
And of course, there are strings attached.😑

I'm thankful to Brian J. White @ Fireside who made my short story collection If Wishes Were Obfuscation Codes and Other Stories possible.
You may buy it through the Fireside link below at a number of book outlets.
Also, you may read for free the first chapter of "Code Switching" (the rap novella in the short story collection) and my most recent short story based in the same world, "Blackout, White Space". published at Sarah Gailey's Stone Soup newsletter.

In 2016, I had the main character and first scene in mind for a sci-fi story, but I wanted the narrative to be different from anything I'd written before.
One night, I saw Kendric Lamar perform at the Grammys. And then I saw the original cast of Hamilton perform. And those inspired "Code Switching".
Read the first chapter at the link below:
My latest scifi short story "Blackout, White Space" at @Gaileyfrey's newsletter, Stone Soup. Thank you to them for allowing my story in their newsletter.
Rafael, in "Blackout, White Space" has his first multiple sclerosis relapse and episode, much like I did in 2019. This is a very personal story for me.
This is personal to me because it's the cause of my Bad First Hugos Experience.
Listing SH's masthead during the ceremony was met with laughter from the audience who thought it was, quote "a bit."
There were even folks on Twitter discussing if submissions editors really DO anything worth crediting.
SH has fought an uphill battle, and had to compromise this year by entering as a collective.
Well... the Hugos did it again. You'll notice that Strange Horizons does not credit all of the people who make the magazine possible.
This isn't by choice.

It's going to be hard to not hear in my head "the SPICE...must flow" in Christopher Walken's voice every time the Padishah Emperor is on screen.
Excited to announce...
