…colonialism and how to rebuild in the wake of huge devastation (also the cutest dragon toddler, the best murderbirds husbands aka the combination of a totally amoral Fallen and his increasingly distraught dragon partner, and the best Vietnamese aunties that you DO NOT want to cross) It was long listed for the BSFA Award and is on the Locus Recommended list for Best Fantasy Novel, and here’s what people have said about it: “A dark saga of ruined ci…

…story was, once again, the one that polled best. So I set out to writing a really short prequel story set just before the beginning of The House of Binding Thorns, which would introduce some of the new characters, showcase some old favourites, and get readers ready for enjoying the book.

Second, there was the question of readability: the best export quality I could get was in quicktime format (which obviously isn’t readable if all you have is Windows Media Player). So…

…ftover rice. Ingredients 1.5 cup uncooked rice (careful, it’s the cup that comes with rice cookers, so that’s 270mL of rice) + 1 7/8 cup water (aka 340mL water), or the equivalent in cooked rice (basically, cooked rice for 3 people) 2 tablespoons dried shrimps 3 eggs 1 tablespoon fish sauce 140g corn kernels 5-6 shallots A few drops maggi sauce (optional) Instructions Some time before starting the recipe, cook the rice (this is *really* best done…

In her dreams, Jiaotan saw Father: hands outstretched, the flesh of the fingers fraying away to reveal the yellowed, tapered shape of bones, the deep-set eyes bulging in their sockets, pleading, begging her to take him away. -(dark fantasy) “Golden Lilies”, Fantasy Magazine, August 2009….
