Or the ocean's brine will turn to wine

I am delighted to announce that my story "Twice Every Day Returning" has been accepted for reprint by Afterlives 2024: The Year's Best Death Fiction, edited by Sheree Renée Thomas and forthcoming from Psychopomp in October. It was published originally in Uncanny Magazine #61, in winter to match its ice-memories as opposed to the heat wave it was written in; it is queer, maritime, diasporic, the latest pendant of an unplanned sea-cycle, and it's lovely to see it described as "Lyrical Magical Realism." The table of contents is exactly the kinds of liminal fiction I would plunge myself into even if I did not have the honor of being included among them. We're still finishing out the ghost-month of summer, but I have further reason now to look forward to the ghost-month of fall.

Congratulations! I read this story sitting here at work, and loved it from the first description of the kinds of ice.

This is splendid.

the latest pendant of an unplanned sea-cycle

That is exciting!

(I did tell my students it was all right for us to talk about the underworld. It's become one of my favorite parts of the course.)

I love the care with which the collection has been assembled! What elegant editing. The collection itself sounds delicious.
