comb. Which they did, to no avail. “Well,” I thought. “Now I MUST earn another token” and I did, with my 2023 collection (JACKAL, JACKAL). The time has come to move again, and here I am clearing out the house and what do I find but the token I thought I lost!!!

In 2021 a little story I wrote (“Isn’t Your Daughter Such a Doll”) was shortlisted for the Shirley Jackson awards and I got a little finalist pebble all the way in Nigeria. In the move to America I lost it…or thought I did. I asked my family to go through my old room with a fine toothed — 1/2

In which I make a case for preordering my sequel

In this capitalist ruinscape we have the immense misfortune of existing in, all our endeavours must suffer the tyranny of Overlords Numbers and Metrics-even creative endeavours, particularly creative endeavours. Sales determine longevity in this industry, and I plan to have exhausted every syllable of that word "longevity" when I finally exit stage left, so smash that button.
