Hello, I'm sorry I haven't posted since August (gulp). I'll update you on me presently, but right now I have excellent news that I think a lot of you will be very pleased to hear:

Cameron is writing again! Here is a link to her Mastodon post where she says so, and to a few paragraphs from the book in progress.

I have been sitting on this news for a long time, feeling ecstatic but having to guard my tongue, so at this juncture I just want to gloat that just for this moment in time, I am the only other person who has read two whole chapters. I am smug and profoundly awed at my good luck.

Please note that the Mastodon post is a short thread; Cam is also working on, or being pursued by, a second book (of which, I continue to gloat, I've been allowed to read a short, entirely remarkable fragment).

For those of you who haven't been with me on this entire journey, in 1996 Cameron's first novel, The Fortunate Fall, was published by Tor, under her deadname, Raphael Carter. She also won the Otherwise Award, under, as she says, its deadname and her deadname, for the short story "Congenital Agenesis of Gender Ideation" in 1998.

All may yet be very well.
