Monthly updates on the goings-on of one Emma Mieko Candon, author, editor, escaped academic, and long-time fan of mediocre robots.
I wrote Star Wars Visions: RONIN (2021), a reconceptualization of the Star Wars universe through the lens of Japanese history and folklore. I'm working on THE ARCHIVE UNDYING (2023) for Tor.com, the first installment of a duology about divine AIs, giant robots made of bone, and fraught queer romance.
Drop in to get a look at my process, research, and, when relevant, sneak peeks at whatever dark writing deeds I'm currently committing.
Upcoming features include: a breakdown of the RONIN outlining process, a meditation on writing about cultures of origin from generational remove in diaspora, and probably a showcase of my Cheap Gaudy Skull collection.
