Lots of Good News

I'm delighted to announce that my story "The Odyssey Problem" from the June 2022 Clarkesworld has been selected by guest editor R.F. Kuang (author of The Poppy War, Babel, and Yellowface) for the anthology BEST AMERICAN SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY 2023. Series editor John Joseph Adams has posted the table of contents, and what a star-studded lineup it is, and though I got the news a while ago I'm still shocked and honored to be in this company. For that matter the list of notable stories for the year is also full of amazing work. I'm so over the moon I can see lunar farside from here. The book is available for pre-order and will be out October 17. I'm also excited to share that contracts are signed for two upcoming stories, but I will let all that percolate a bit before talking more about them. (Edited to italicize R.F. Kuang's book titles.)
