Did you know my story "Douen" is, from what I have been able to make out (could be wrong) the first short story written completely in dialect to be nominated for a Nebula Award? I don't usually blow my own horn but its been a few years so it might be less grating now.

Horror friends, Countess is for you. It's a space opera but you can't take the horror out of the goth writer's heart. If you liked "Laughter Among the Trees," or Skin Thief or Douen, this is a book for you. A friend said: "Oh she's hardcore upsetting." Correct. I've said it before, I am a knife.

Douen by @sillysyntax.bsky.social, which touches on belonging and displacement, with the horrific tension of being a victim of unfortunate circumstances vs. becoming something monstrous as a result.
Also found in the beautiful collection Skin Thief.

Maybe I'm not very smart still chasing this but yesterday s/o on insta said Douen was the first story that made them weep. Caribbean women came up to me at a festival last week to say, I've never seen myself in sci-fi. Thank you. I can't stop. If I connect with one person all of this is worth it. 🤷♀️

I should have "brought ups" and intro myself. I'm Suzan: queer, goth, Trinidadian Canadian spec writer. I co founded the Ignyte Awards with L.D. Lewis. My short story "Douen" was nommed for the nebula and is nommed for the Aurora Award. I have a short story collection, "Skin Thief" out in Oct. +
