From Obon traditions to a life-changing poem by W. Todd Kaneko, I wrote about the inspirations/sub journey of my Hugo-nominated poem, âthere are no taxis for the dead" in Uncanny Magazine liu-angela.com/2025/04/30/a-sâŚ

I have a new story out in clarkesworld! âBrainstem Disco, 2191â explores the association of music with memories (and Iâd love if you listened to the quasi-soundtrack while reading!) clarkesworldmagazine.com/liu_05_25/


Contract signed! My body horror story, âSwallow Testâ will be in a future issue of Nightmare Magazine! So excited to have my first fiction sale at one of my favorite magazines!

I have an interview in the latest issue of Uncanny Magazine! I talk about the inspiration/writing process for my latest story, how I develop my characters, and some of my favorite artwork. uncannymagazine.com/article/intervâŚ

Donât listen to anyone who tells you a poem isnât a poem just because it doesnât rhyme or follow a fixed form. A poem is a distilled feeling, a condensed moment in timeâit's language at its very best, like a punch to the gut that leaves you winded, dazed, longing for another.



I have a new sci-fi story out at Cast of Wonders (my first audio reprint!)! âKAOSU: The Last Moving Country In The Worldâ is about dark tourism, influencer culture, and a train closed off from the outside world. castofwonders.org/2025/06/cast-oâŚ

Hey, Iâm doing my first online reading ever on 6/19 (*cue panic*). Iâll be reading from my Locus Award-nominated story âAnother Girl Under the Iron Bellâ (in Uncanny Magazine) alongside Premee Mohamed. Check out the full schedule of readings here: locusmag.com/2025-locus-awaâŚ

My poem, âHigh School Graduation, June 2099â is out today in the final issue of Worlds of Possibility! Loved Julia Rios's description for it: âqueer solarpunk futures and the bittersweetness of coming of age.â Check it out here: juliarios.com/introducing-thâŚ

Itâs out!! My cursed tattoo story âA Contract of Ink and Skinâ is in here alongside some of the best weird stories of 2024 (with one of my favorite covers in recent memory)! Loved Alex Woodroe's foreword and the idea of âa garden of Weird and wonder.â store.tenebrouspress.com/products/braveâŚ
