As of today, I have a short story available in The\u00a0Society\u00a0of\u00a0Misfit\u00a0Stories\u00a0Presents\u2026<\/a><\/em> February 2019 issue<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In “Ash Shades,” two women survive the destruction of their landing site by taking shelter in their ship. They emerge to find a local sentient species salvaging burned seeds and must navigate communication barriers to learn what happened to the rest of their crew. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s 7,400 words, just shy of a novelette, and the perfect length to enjoy on your shorter (passenger<\/em> \u2014 please don’t read & drive) commute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The February 2019 issue of Misfit Stories <\/em>contains many other writers’ works, so you could have your commute and laundromat reading taken care of for at least the first decad of February. It’s $4.99 for a bunch of good stories<\/a>, and at the link, you can pick your ebook retailer of choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Content warnings (highlight to see; I can’t speak for the other stories because I haven’t read them yet): Grief, death, fire, corpses, and first contact.<\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conlangers, you may enjoy the linguist thrown out of her subdiscipline comfort zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Readers who grew up in polytheistic traditions, while the short story is not religious, it does center polytheist characters in scifi, which is still a representation issue. For everyone else, the final scene contains elements that are not consistent with traditional praxis in either’s religion. It’s a landing site disaster, so neither is prepared for proper protocol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
