Quick note that we’ve added “Among the Marithei” to my website. Thanks to Asimov’s for the publication! This is set in my Jump Space universe, but is a stand-alone story. https://maryannemohanraj.com/among-the-marithei/ “Sergey hummed under his breath as he walked to the Marith temple. His steps retraced a path he knew so well, he could have […]

At the very last moment, per usual, I realize I should do an awards-eligibility post. Hugo Award nominations are open until 11:59 p.m. today, March 15th.

We’ll be editing that and have it up on our YouTube channel and site shortly. I’m prepping for the next panel we’re

Woot! I went to bed early because I’m still under the weather from this cold (the internet tells me that colds generally take 7-10 days to resolve, or up to 2 weeks, which at least makes me feel like I’m not being particularly put upon with this cold, since symptoms showed up on Sunday), and
We got 8 new members for the Speculative Literature Foundation! Woohoo! If we can keep up that pace, we might actually make it all the way to the 250 goal before the end of the month, although of course, it’s tricky, because FB algorithms mean that most people who’d be interested in this won’t actually

Woot! Day one of our first SLF membership drive. $2 / month to join at the Photon level — if you’d like to join at a higher tier, those get you more perks. We need to build up our membership base so we have a secure foundation of operating funds that will let us expand
