Issue Three of Demeter's Spicebox just went live, with many gleaming treasures, including:
1. My short story, Stronger Than the Wind, Stronger Than the Sea. The story is a sequel of sorts to my earlier story for Demeter's Spicebox, Sister and Bones, but only of sorts. The island in the story is very real, the storm is real, the fire coral was, alas, all too real, and although fairy basslets are rare in those waters, I did see one, and can assure you that it, too, was real.
The rest, though -- well, I'll let you decide.
2. Two other retellings of the Aarne-Thompson folktale type 2031C, "The Mouse Who Was to Marry the Sun: Flower of Flowers, Bird of Birds, and Bogi Takacs' Mouse Choirs of the Old Matra.
3. And an image by Kirsty Greenwood, inspired by my short story Sister and Bones. I can't tell you how much that thrills me.
