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.

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.

Thank you!

The unfinished part is a novella that was erratically but persistently in progress until the pandemic, since which time I have not been able to work on it, but I still have dreams of returning to it when I have some kind of intercalary year in my life and publishing the whole thing together. It seems to be the only fictional continuity my brain returns to and still feels occasionally like writing fanfic for my own fiction.

Yes! I love the explanation of the organization. And some of the stories I know, and some of them I don't, and I am really looking forward to seeing how they all fit together.
