And now it can be seen! The cover of my next novel, "A Wall Is Also a Road," with art by Anna and Elena Balbusso (AKA the Balbusso Twins). Thanks to @andrewliptak@mastodon.social, who revealed it in his excellent newsletter. Plus you can read my first interview about the book! It's coming October 6! https://www.andrewliptak.com/annalee-newitz-a-wall-is-also-a-road-scifi-book-cover-reveal/

It's awards season! I couldn't be more proud of the two books I published last year. "Automatic Noodle" is my love letter to San Francisco's future. The anthology "We Will Rise Again" is a hopeful collaboration between me,
@older@wandering.shop, Karen Lord, & many brilliant authors. I'm also incredibly grateful that I'm able to continue publishing weird, queer, hopeful science fiction about resistance & community. Thank you to everyone who worked on these books, and to everyone who read them!!!

Should I stay or should I go? If I go there will be trouble, but if I stay it could be double.
