Honored to see Hole in the Sky among the twelve shortlist nominees for the 2027 Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association (PNBA) Awards (out of over 300 books nominated)! I love living in the PNW and it’s so gratifying to see the novel recognized. 🥰

Reading 2025 fiction? Try the short story "Whalesong" by Daniel H. Wilson @danielhwilsonpdx.bsky.social! You can read it here! buff.ly/gmrVcbc
The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 65, “The Duet" by Nilah Magruder: Two women sit at a piano. One is wearing a lilac dress with a locket around her neck, her skin is a dark shade and her hair white. Next to her, the second woman is wearing a red dress, and has black hair worn up in a bun-like style. Her head and hand are not attached to her body, giving the impression that she is not human but a robot of some kind. Both are smiling as they play together. The quote reads: "She’s the kind of mother who casts a hell of a shadow over a son trying to make his way in the same field of science. And let’s be real. She was more of an on paper mother, really, if you take into account the amount of time we actually spent together."
