NEWS: Due to the pandemic, Solaris will be delaying the release of Phoenix Extravagant from June 2020 to October 2020. I’m really sorry about this–they think the book will have a better chance to succeed with a later release. For anyone who can’t wait, there will be a limited edition from Goldsboro Books Sci-Fi and Fantasy Fellowship releasing in May 2020–check the link for details. (Yes, they do international orders; they’re in the UK.)

Phoenix Extravagant is a standalone fantasy novel forthcoming from Solaris Books in October 2020. It’s about a nonbinary painter teaming up with a pacifist mecha dragon against the evil empire, and it’s set in a magical version of Korea during the Japanese occupation.
