If you're a writer, I'd go so far as to say it's essential reading to develop your craft, to dig deep into your characters and their emotions (as well as your own), and to go eyeball-close with your line edits!

Look! My book-child stands onstage between @amalelmohtar.com's and @nnedi.bsky.social's, bowing and blushing for the curtain call.
When the Moon Hits Yours Eye is on two Amazon "Best of 2025" lists: In the Top 20 for Science Fiction and Fantasy, and also the general Top 100 Books of the Year. Not bad for a book about the moon turning to cheese.

In light of the astronomical increases for my health insurance next year, I thought it would be a good time to encourage people to subscribe. (A few hundred should cover it. Sigh.)
