First up, <a href="https://firesidefiction.com/the-ceremony">The Ceremony</a>, a gender bent tale of Supreme Court, over at Fireside Fiction. Second, <a href="http://twistedmoonmag.com/4/ness.html">The Water Beating Against Your Skin</a>, a poem more or less about the natural springs in Florida.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=mariness&ditemid=395463" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:276434:393055 2017-07-18T17:26:37Z 2017-07-18T17:26:37Z public 0 A new short story from me today, <a href="http://firesidefiction.com/the-witch-in-the-tower">The Witch in the Tower</a>, up at Fireside Fiction.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=mariness&ditemid=393055" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:276434:387276 2016-05-02T13:34:53Z 2016-05-02T13:34:53Z public 0 <a href="http://www.firesidefiction.com/issue33/"> The latest issue of Fireside Fiction just went live, and with it</a>, my short story, <a href="http://www.firesidefiction.com/issue33/chapter/the-middle-childs-practical-guide-to-surviving-a-fairy-tale/">The Middle Child's Practical Guide to Surviving a Fairy Tale,</a> the story I read at last year's World Fantasy Con and this year's ICFA. Originally written as a Twitter joke, it slowly grew into a blog post, as these things do, and then mutated into a short story.<br /><br />Also just going live, <a href="http://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/issues/may-2016-issue-72-2/">the latest issue of Lightspeed</a>, available for subscribers or as an individual issue, which includes my short story, "Deathlight," along with new short stories by An Owomoyela, Seanan McGuire, and Wole Talabi, reprints from a number of well known names including Tim Pratt and Elizabeth Hand, and Hugh Howey's "The Plagiarist."<br /><br />I may have a bit more to say about this one once my individual story goes live on the web on May 17, but for now, I'll just note that the two stories are, I think, quite different - and not just because one is more or less fantasy (if a bit snarky about it) and the other marks my return to hard science fiction. <br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=mariness&ditemid=387276" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
