Locus Recommended Reading list!

Tremendously exciting novel-related news last week: The Deep And Shining Dark was on the Locus 2018 Recommended Reads list (under First Novel). I was very surprised by this but obviously pleasantly so (apart from a brief bout of anxious imposter-syndrome-ness). It got a good write-up in the accompanying critics' round-ups in the magazine as well, from Graham Sleight.

I'm working on the sequel now and hoping to get it to the publishers around May, once I've finished the current vast structural rewrite/rearrangement, done another one to sort out all the things I messed up or introduced during the course of this one, and then tidied everything up properly afterwards. Onwards, onwards.

And in further SF news, I finally got around to collating some of my own recommended reads from last year.
