August saw me flying from New York City back to Texas and spending a bunch of time recovering from psychic damage I’m not going to get into. I also did a bunch of painting, had a weird episode with my Instagram, and just. What a ride of a month it was!

I am nearing the end of my revision journey, and then I’m going to be doing more focused reading lists that I may or may not share as part of the recovery phase after finishing an intense project.

This month’s blog interviews were:

• Naseem Jamnia debuted a queernorm fantasy novella, The Bruising of Qilwa, with Tachyon Publishing
• Jordan Kurella debuted a CW-style retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice with I Never Liked You Anyway
• Victor Manibo debuted The Sleepless with Erewhon Books, a sci-fi noir mystery

September is off to a hype start, with me getting to announce a short story with the inaugural edition of the Best Served Cold zine.
