I did have a few things published in 2024. But mostly I was… “finishing the hat.” I mean the novel.
Some pieces were exclusive releases, like my story in the Origins Game Fair Anthology Trove of Legacies, as well as the memorial anthology All in Among the Briars that Julia Rios edited in order to help a dear friend in our SFF community with her mama’s funeral expenses. Fathoms in the Earth is a gorgeous print anthology, but Orange and Bee Issue 2 is online!
I would love to find a reprint home for “With Wings of Crystal” one day. It was one of my stories–like “Catharsis” from Rogue Artists, soon to be re-released in Carlos’s and my collection Infernal Bargains–inspired by the world of Negocios Infernales. I didn’t write “With Wings of Crystal” in time to include in our collection, alas! It inspired a romantasy novel idea that my friend Caitlyn really wants me to write.
“The Book of Games” from Fathoms in the Earth (Air and Nothingness Press)
“With Wings of Crystal” from Trove of Legacies (exclusive to Origins Game Fair)
“We Fairy Tale Girls Are Growing Older” from All In Among the Briars (memorial anthology)
“The Eighth Blessing” from Orange and Bee, Issue Two
Edited to add:
Oh, yes. And in December 2024, after I initially wrote this, a whole new collection came out—a collaboration between Carlos and me: INFERNAL BARGAINS, short stories and poems inspired by the Deck of Destiny!
