@clarkesworld Right?! My debut #MIRRORMAZE was released in December 2020. Also, it was 2020, so that was kind of the worst too.

Okay, here's my overdue #introduction post...
I'm a #JavaScript developer by day and a #fiction writer/editor by night (mostly #SF, #dreampunk in particular). I have a master's in #linguistics and taught in #Japan for a while. I love #art, #cooking, etc.
I'd like to connect with the #writingCommunity here, particularly since I seem to be making a habit of compiling #shortFiction anthologies. The first was #MIRRORMAZE, and a follow-up called #SOMNISCOPE is on the way.
