iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

A khipu master banished from Cusco. A trader's daughter sent to guide her. A jungle civilization where law is poetry, and a machine that could write it all. A slow-burn sapphic novel about power, and whether inventors answer for what they build. #DVpit #A #HF #LF #LGBT #Latine

A narrow rocky stream winding through a dense, shaded tropical forest framed by long hanging vines and thick green foliage, evoking a secluded, tranquil jungle scene.

Who writes the laws, who enacts them, who never gets a say? An exiled Inca knot-writer finds a stateless jungle society governed by poetry, and a scribe building a machine to automate it. A sapphic, dual-POV novel of the pre-Columbian Andes and Amazon. #DVpit #A #HF #LF #LGBT #Latine

Misty forest stream with a narrow curved wooden-plank walkway crossing shallow water toward a fallen log and tall trees rising through soft morning light, surrounded by ferns and broad-leaf plants.

Pre-Columbian Andes & Amazon, two women in alternating voices. An exiled Inca khipu master and her jungle guide fall in love slowly, badly, honestly, while a charismatic scribe builds a machine to write the law. EVERY RIVER CARRIES ITS OWN MOONLIGHT, 60k. #DVpit #A #HF #LF #LGBT #Latine

Mossy stone lookout wall on a mountain ridge overlooking mist‑shrouded, layered valleys that fade into the cloudy, overcast distance.

CIRCE meets THE DICTIONARY OF LOST WORDS in the pre-Columbian Andes and Amazon: an exiled Inca khipu master with forbidden knowledge joins a jungle plot to build a machine that writes the law. Her guide asks the question no one else will. Sapphic, dual POV, 60k. #DVpit #A #HF #LF #LGBT #Latine

Ancient Incan stone ruins and terraced walls, their moss-covered blocks perched on a cliffside overlooking a steep, densely forested mountain valley.

What if the first computer was a river-driven machine that wrote poems? In pre-Columbian South America, an exiled khipu master joins a plot to build it, while her guide wonders if the woman she loves is helping build a cage. Dual POV. #DVpit #A #HF #LF #LGBT #Latine

Amaru is Cusco's top khipu master until her mentor banishes her to a jungle where law is poetry. Now, if she doesn't stop the machine she's building, one scribe will control what a civilization knows and how it functions. And she's falling for her guide. #DVpit #A #HF #LF #LGBT #Latine

There are no “legitimate concerns” about trans people. There aren’t any about women’s safety or fairness in sports or kids being kids or fucking toilets. If there were you’d have heard of them before 2018. I am a cis white woman so you have to listen to me or I’ll cry.

Just arrived, my author's copy of Worlds of Possibility vol 2 edited by @omgjulia.bsky.social that includes my story "Happiness is _______". Also, it's featured on the back! My (small) collection is growing.

Hardcover book "Worlds of Possibility, Volume 2," edited by Julia Rios, lying on a cutting mat with ruler markings. The cover art shows a young woman with dark hair and a gold heart-shaped tiara, dressed in blue, looking up with her hand raised toward a small blue dragon and a ghostly blue cat floating above her against a purple and blue starry sky, with a spaceship illustration near the title.

Blue book page headed "Praise for the stories in Worlds of Possibility Volume 2," featuring a review excerpt from Alex Brown at Reactor. It praises "Happiness Is ___" by Rodrigo Culagovski as "the literary equivalent of a hug" that "will leave you smiling," followed by the start of a review for "Have You Eaten Yet" by Ian Li.

Interior book page showing the title page of a short story: "Happiness Is" by Rodrigo Culagovski, noted as a 900-word short story, with an epigraph reading "One of you will be chosen to live on our spaceship and travel the Galaxy with us," followed by the opening lines of the story text.

A row of book spines standing on a shelf, including titles such as "Solarpunk Creatures," "Monstrous Futures," "We Are All Thieves of Somebody's Future," "Not Your Papi's Utopia," "Fission #5," a Chinese-language anthology ("AI大师"), "The Digital Aesthete," and "Worlds of Possibility Volume 2" at the far right in blue.

THE LAST INFINITY is out now! Come check out my book about time traveling disaster gays and the terrible things I put them through: books2read.com/b/bwMZ99. #TimeTravelAuthors #WritingCommunity

White text on a red starry background that says "Out Now!" and then lists the following tropes: time travel, found family, mlm and wlw relationships, I'll love you in every reality, disabled MCs, chronic illness, androids and robots, set on Mars. Available on Amazon, Kobo, Smashwords, and more!

White text on a red starry background that reads: Cal Hunter is a cryo, a person who was cryogenically frozen after his death in the 22nd century. Resurrected four hundred years later, he now lives in the 26th century and works as a time traveler for the time agency on Mars.

After a mission goes disastrously wrong, Cal returns to his present to find that he's seriously altered the timeline. All life on Earth and the Moon has been wiped out, leaving only a failing settlement on Mars of fewer than two thousand people. Even worse, Cal can no longer time travel due to his injuries.

The only person who can fix the timeline is Renata Carr, a teenager from the 20th century. She's brought out of cryogenic suspension, and a reluctant Cal is put in charge not only of her training, but also her well-being. Meanwhile, Renata grapples with the grief of waking up in a strange century on another world while also coming of age—and falling in love with the daughter of one of Cal's friends.

When disaster strikes the settlement, the timeline for humanity's demise rapidly speeds up. While Cal knows he must send Renata on a mission she isn't ready for, and which will likely kill her, he is torn between saving humanity's past, present, and future, or the girl he's come to see as a daughter.

My story, "Her Hair the Color of a Sun-Red Orange," is in the latest issue of @utopiascifi.bsky.social! www.utopiasciencefiction.com/product-page...

A science fiction magazine cover on a pale peach background. At the top, a stylized blue masthead reads "UTOPIA," with "SCIENCE FICTION MAGAZINE" below it in smaller blue text, followed by "Volume VIII August, 2026" in white. Behind the title, a bright yellow-orange meteor with a glowing tail streaks diagonally across the page from left to right.

The central illustration depicts a headless astronaut in a bulky spacesuit falling upside down. The suit is colored with a blue-to-purple gradient and outlined in thick black ink in a comic-book style. The astronaut's severed neck points downward toward the bottom of the cover, while detached equipment—including bolts, panels, a bottle, and other mechanical debris—floats around the body in zero gravity. The figure is framed inside a large circular window or porthole with a gold rim, showing a black-and-gold planetary or abstract space background.

Centered over the lower half of the illustration is a list of contributors in bold white text with black outlines: Ian Li, Rodrigo Culagovski, Gio Clairval, Callie Voorhis, K.B. Nelson, Deborah Davitt, Torrey Francis Malek, Lisa Timpf, Denis Mortenson, Alberto Palmeiri, Samiha Zaki, and William Tenn. Near the bottom, "INTERVIEWS" appears above the names Tran Nguyen and Steve Davidson.

Banshee, on the right, has orange hair with prominent sideburns and wears a blue-and-yellow X-Men costume with his arms crossed. He replies, “For God’s sake, why?” followed by, “Don’t know, lad. But 33 countries stripped mutants of any special protection last year.”

Kazmera's grandfather murders her parents & orders her, a shadow witch, to marry light witch Prince Edan for a false peace. To save her kingdom from her grandfather’s totalitarian regime and impending war, Kazmera & Edan form a fragile alliance while facing their inner demons. #A #FR #QueerPit

A trope map graphic for BETWEEN THE SUN AND MOON by Sasha Kielman, featuring art by @winterofherdiscontent. A black background with art positioned as the book cover. White and golden yellow text and arrows pointing to: enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, elemental magic, slide to pitch, adult romantasy (93,000 words), mental and chronic illness and queer representation.

BETWEEN THE SUN AND MOON Forced into an arranged marriage as a fragile peace treaty, two powerful witches must learn to trust each other in order to prevent war across their Realms. But will their love be enough to stop a war? Perfect for fans of The Hurricane Wars and The Bridge Kingdom, BETWEEN THE SUN AND MOON is a critique of authoritarianism and a demonstration of the power of love in all its forms, recognizing that while not all illnesses can be healed, they can be managed with care. @SashaKielman

Image of “The Piebald Horse," an oil painting by Paulus Potter, with a brown-speckled white horse standing in a field against a cloudy sky, looking back just slightly to the viewer. Above the horse is added text from “Hollows After Bones” by Elis Montgomery: “Nightraiser paws a hoof into the harrowed earth. Every grave here is laid bare like the land’s been peeled back in great layers.”

Image of a watercolour illustration by Raffaele Mainella for Nos Invisibles (1907). A dark figure stands over an open, flower-strewn casket with their hands raised to a lighter sky of dancing, white-clad figures. A dead man lies inside the casket beside a tall candle, its smoke trailing into the distance. Over the sky is added text from “Hollows After Bones” by Elis Montgomery: “Neither he nor the rider had prepared for death; it had come for them suddenly, as certain as wildfire.”

Image of “The Race Track (Death on a Pale Horse)” (c. 1896–1908), an oil painting by Albert Pinkham Ryder. Depicts a skeletal, scythe-wielding figure riding a galloping horse through the dark countryside. Over the sky is added text from “Hollows After Bones” by Elis Montgomery: “Horses did not have to pay their way through, but perhaps that was the way of humans.”

Image of “La calavera de Don Quijote (The Skeleton of Don Quixote)” (c. 1910-1913), a print of a relief etching with engraving by José Guadalupe Posada. A hat-wearing and lance-wielding skeleton rides a skeletal horse through a crowd of smaller, fleeing skeletons. Added text reads, “Hollows After Bones” by Elis Montgomery,” and “Free to Read | Adventitious.”
