Recent Recap: latter 2025

Posted on by under Updates

Equinox Watershed Seattle Georgetown Primal Spiral & Friday Harbor 1st Block
Primal Spiral creative studio evolved through its reactivation in 2025, starting up for a season and some at Make.Shift in Bellingham. I accepted an offer for studio space in Seattle Georgetown with the Equinox Collective Watershed arts neighborhood project, and transferred my Bellingham functions here. I also reopened in Friday Harbor, my island town address, on the first block from the ferry at [Parking Gate] 3. So now there’s Primal Spiral Seattle & Primal Spiral Friday Harbor, and at these places I can forge ahead with new writing, and receive creative company.

Seattle WorldCon 2025
Seattle WorldCon was a culmination of years of participation and contribution, and I’m so proud of my local SFF and writing community for hosting a world-class event that brought many of the amazing authors, artists, publishers, and fans that I’ve been hobnobbing with for the previous decade to our very own city neighborhood. Along with speaking on some fabulous panels, I hosted my first WorldCon dealer’s table, which was a cheery scene, and invited people to my Midnight Write-In Cacao & Tea Social Hour at Primal Spiral Georgetown.

Leagues Cup 2025
Sounders All-Win

There are some new poems just rolled out, a demiromantic 3-pack:
Let Me Be Your Ocean, Bold Sailor (after my Let Me Be Your Ocean, Bold Surfer)
When Search AI Has No Idea What You’re Talking About, on oKOMOn News
feminine ego grandiosity / this does not seem allowed (see above)

ELASIEL176CE: 12/21/25 print date
This story came together from ideas and processes that began some time ago, and was ready to step forth for publication after Bones of Starlight; I consider it part of a larger book, titled alwaysbeeneverwas, with other intertwined mythologies. In this separate photoessay-constructed form, it’s a Fantasy New Age Multiple Life Philosophy Erotica; for sale to ages 18+, only as an additional purchase to any other volume by the author, in print through limited in-person/author-direct distribution; with a look to a later-upcoming online release on: Only Fans.

I renewed with SFWA through 2026
I’m also renewed with the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association through 2026! Cheers to my second year in the professionals’ formal league.
