Book mail! Looking forward to reading VAN BOYLE by my friend Nathan Leslie!
A book cover featuring an old wooden farmhouse, which is falling down, with a collapsed roof. It is surrounded by large round bales of hay. A few trees are behind the house. The ground in front of the house has a little green grass but it turns into mud and standing water near the bottom of the image. The words "Van Boyle" and "Nathan Leslie" are centered in yellow text. At the bottom of the image, the words "Texture Press" appear in yellow.

Book mail! Actually, this arrived on pub day but I wasn't home to receive it. I was so sorry to miss the book launch party! But now I'm home (at least, for a little while) so I'm eager to read! Vanessa's writing is always wonderful. 💜

A book cover featuring the title: The House of Illusionists and other stories by Vanessa Fogg. The art appears textured like a painting, with a dark blue sky and a Chinese-style house with a swallowtail roof. There is a large flowering tree behind the house.

My poem "Let Us Dream" was included in the Seattle WorldCon souvenir book - which makes me ridiculously happy! Thanks to the @seattlein2025.org publication folks, and @smallwondersmag.com for publishing the poem originally! And thanks to @taracampbell.bsky.social for mailing me a copy! ❤️
The words Seattle Worldcon 2025 are in black text, tilted at an angle on the left side of the cover. A robot with intricate metalwork stands on the right side, with an upraised arm. Connect to the arm is the figure of a woman with long hair and a yellow dress, floating above. Geometric shapes float in the background. A page from the WorldCon souvenir book. The left side of the page includes the text of a poem, which is blurry & hard to read. On the right side of the page, the words "Let us Dream by Myna Chang" are above a white box that says "Let Us Dream" originally published in Small Wonders, Issue 3, September 2023. The background of the page is a gridwork of boxes with muted colors, which makes the words a little hard to distinguish.

Book mail! TANGLED LIVES, edited by Teresa Berkowitz (from Tangled Locks Journal), contains a lot of powerful feminist stories. I'm a big fan of the Tangled Locks mission - and I was happy to provide a blurb for this lovely and fierce book!

Take a look at this gorgeous cover! Featuring art by Tim Mara: Portrait of Astrid, 1973
@kazbarwrites.bsky.social
Cover art: Portrait of Astrid, 1973 A woman sitting still, by the light of the window in a cluttered living room watching television. The composition is repeated: Vermeer’s ‘Girl reading letter at an open window’ (1657) is seen on the wall and it too depicts a woman standing by a lattice window; outside another woman can be seen by the window of an adjacent building.
