New Suns 2 – Hot off the Presses

So excited to receive New Suns 2: Original Speculative Fiction by People of Color!!! My short story, “Home is Where the Heart Is” came after a long dry spell. Writing stories is also a kind of spell. So is reading…

Edited by the inimitable #NisiShawl! Can’t wait to dive in! Published by Solaris.

A selfie of Hiromi, middle-aged salt and pepper haired Asian dyke, grinning, holding a paperback copy of an anthology of short stories. The cover of the book is gorgeously colourful—a futuristic image of two brown-skinned people with futuristic attire gaze toward something in the distance..

Quotes by Hiromi Goto (?)

“A child isn’t born bitter. I point no fingers as to who tainted the clean, pure pool of my childhood. Let’s just say that when I realized that I didn’t want to grow up, the damage was already done. Knowing that being grown up was no swell place to be means that you are grown up enough to notice. And you can’t go back from there. You have to forge another route, draw your own map.”

“Thank you to the crows that amass on Vancouver evenings and fly home to the darkness of Burnaby Mountain. Thank you to the brilliance of wet moss and lichen. Thank you to the rays of golden brown light slanting in the cool of a green lake. Thank you to the shoals of glinting fish. Thank you to the sweet gems of salmonberries. Thank you to the decaying leaves for their rich brown smell. Thank you to the slugs and wood lice beneath the leaves. Thank you to to my plant friends who keep me company as I write. I am deeply grateful to share this cycle with you.”
