My short fiction has appeared in various professional venues, and my Aztec fantasy series "Obsidian and Blood", Servant of the Underworld, is published by Angry Robot. Currently working on a Urban Fantasy set in Paris.
In my spare time, I also double as a geek in maths and computer science.
I read in a wide variety of genres and consume an astronomical quantity of books per year. I am also attempting to a. learn how to cook, and b. learn to speak Vietnamese, two occupations that take up a lot of time on my blog.

“You leave behind your fine poems.
You leave behind your beautiful flowers. And the earth that was only leant to you. You ascend into the Light, O Quechomitl, you leave behind the flowers and the singing and the earth. Safe journey, O friend.”
Aliette de Bodard, Servant of the Underworld

“I still couldn’t banish the image of the Quetzal Flower. In my mind, it merged with that of Priestess Eleuia: everything a man could desire or aspire to, a woman who would suck the marrow from your bones and still leave you smiling.”
Aliette de Bodard, Servant of the Underworld
