I'd had Ai Jiang's Linghun on my holds list on the Libby app for ages and finally made the time to read it.

I'm so glad I did. I don't know how to describe it without giving too much away. It's a haunted house story, but it's more than that. Beautifully written.
Cover of Linghun by Ai Jiang. The art is an illustration of a Gothic house against a full moon on a green sky. The image is upside-down.

A Palace Near the Wind, by Ai Jiang is up next! My last true novella for the month. I got totally sucked into this one and was about halfway through before I was able to tear myself away to the three hundred bulbs that needing potting up today! 💙📚

Story day!! I’m so delighted to debut in @unchartedmag.bsky.social with ‘Love Story in Colored Glass:’ an inter-dimensional love story about a starship that breaks reality - and a pair of lovers who find themselves, again and again, across the fracture.

Love Story in Colored Glass - Uncharted
“This,” her father says, the stone a matte black promise in his hand, “is how your ship will travel.” With a bravura flick, he throws it out onto the lake, but all she can focus on is the spike of ten...

Time Travel Is Easy is officially out in the world! Dinosaurs and Deep Time are thematic links to queer embodiment, childhood trauma, and life in the late Anthropocene. Cover art by the amazing Helen Whistberry. (Non-Amazon options coming very soon!) www.amazon.com/dp/B0G344X8L7
Cover art for my book Time Travel Is Easy. It depicts the skeleton of an Archaeopteryx against an abstract tree design, with a dragonfly and feathers around it.
