I have the privilege of my novelette, “The Deepwater Bride”, appearing in the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. This is obviously awesome in every single way. Check out this beautiful object. Get it in your eyes. I would heartily recommend you also getting it as a physical thing in your life and home (click on the PayPal button if this seems opaque). Editor C.C. Finlay gives a whole bunch of excellent reasons as to why you should, and I want to join my voice in saying that completely apart from reading a thing by me there is a fantastic line-up. I was particularly taken by Rachel Pollack’s Johnny Rev, and on my to-read list went immediately the other stories in her Jack Shade universe. I hadn’t read them at all, and now I want to fix errors made by my incorrect lifestyle. Check out further reviews here:

I won’t talk too much about Deepwater because I already gave an interview. It really is one of those stories where if I talk about it, I will give away the plot. All I can say is that if you want girls solving Lovecraftian mysteries and finding out the real mystery is… friendship*, Deepwater’s your huckleberry.





*is the real mystery friendship??? read to find out
