Beyond the infinite

April 8, 2021 aliyawhiteleyLeave a comment

I made magnificently sticky easter-egg embedded blondies this Easter, and now, on the other side of the sugar rush, I’ll just give the blog a quick update on a few cool things: The new issue of Shoreline of Infinity contains a SF not-first-but-last contact story of mine called More Sea Creatures to See. It’s got… Continue reading Beyond the infinite

A skyward week

March 22, 2021March 22, 2021 aliyawhiteleyLeave a comment

What a week. Here’s a collection of links to reviews, articles and so on relating to Skyward Inn (If you haven’t read it yet and want to avoid spoilers, I’d recommend not clicking on the reviews just yet, just to be on the safe side): Noah Berlatsky’s review in the LA Times: In the beautiful… Continue reading A skyward week

Acknowledging the inn is out

March 18, 2021 aliyawhiteleyLeave a comment

It was published in the US on Tuesday, and it’s available in the UK today – yes, Skyward Inn is out there… I completely forgot to thank anybody in the back of the book, for which I really apologise. So here goes – the blog version: A huge thank you to David Moore, Hanna Waigh,… Continue reading Acknowledging the inn is out

Backing Into the Light

March 12, 2021 aliyawhiteleyLeave a comment

An anthology from Unsung Stories is always good news, and this one feels very timely. You can back ‘Out of the Darkness’ on Kickstarter. Lots of people already have, which is very good news. I’m really pleased to have written a story for this, along with some amazing writers, and here are the details: Out… Continue reading Backing Into the Light

Divide and Communicate

March 4, 2021 aliyawhiteleyLeave a comment

Not long to go until Skyward Inn is out in the world, and I’m at that point where I can’t quite sit still for thinking about it. I signed some copies for Goldsboro Books a few days ago, and I’ve been busy chatting about it and trying to make sense of what it’s about so… Continue reading Divide and Communicate

Six books, small words, big meanings

February 26, 2021 aliyawhiteleyLeave a comment

I’m still popping up in a few places to promote The Loosening Skin, and over the past few days I’ve been very happy to answer questions for the excellent websites Nerds of a Feather and Horror Tree. Here’s a bit from both: What book are you currently reading? I’m nearing the end of Emmanuel Carrère’s… Continue reading Six books, small words, big meanings

Release the Titans

February 24, 2021 aliyawhiteleyLeave a comment

The Loosening Skin (US/Canada edition) is out there! I’ve seen some great pictures of it in bookshops and on TBR piles, but my favourite picture of it comes from a blog post by Titan Books. Here it is in a line-up with my other Titan titles: By the end of this year, the short story… Continue reading Release the Titans

Places to find horror

February 22, 2021 aliyawhiteleyLeave a comment

I’ve been busy talking about flies, loneliness, aliens, ghosts, and flaying, in order to promote the publications of both The Loosening Skin (US) and Skyward Inn (UK & US). Over at Breaking the Glass Slipper, we chatted about loneliness as a driving force of science fiction, including Star Wars, Star Trek, Graham Greene, and lots… Continue reading Places to find horror

Avalon and other places

February 12, 2021 aliyawhiteleyLeave a comment

With the US release of The Loosening Skin, and the publication of Skyward Inn, both coming up in the next couple of months, I’ll be popping up virtually in a few more places, talking about writing and inspiration and things I love. I’ll blog about them as I go along, and to start there’s a… Continue reading Avalon and other places

The secret life of non fiction

January 18, 2021 aliyawhiteleyLeave a comment

Hopping from writing weird fiction (make it up as you go along) to writing non-fiction (the scientific, bibliography-worthy kind) was the kind of challenge I both love and hate: scary, exacting, and revealing. I learned lots of things along the way, and I put them in an article that has been published by Writers’ Forum… Continue reading The secret life of non fiction
