Publishers Weekly Reviews Mothership: Tales from Afrofuturism and Beyond
PW reviewed the Mothership anthology with a shout out to yours truly, which just about made my month. They had kind words for “The Taken” one of the stories in the mosaic novel, R/evolution. I’m proud to be part of this project and amongst so many fine writers.
