tanithleestoryteller.com “Storyteller: A Tanith Lee Tribute Anthology is a lovely tribute, indeed. From the first tale to the last, a deep love and admiration for Lee’s life and work shines through in each authors’ interpretation of her distinctive style and voice. These sixteen stories capture the spirit of Tanith Lee’s fiction with their elaborate world-building, complicated consequences, and wild magic everywhere. It is a wonder to see how unique and yet how familiar this anthology feels.”--Nerdgoblin.com

I have another short story out today!

@hellitself.bsky.social posted another fantastic story today: "On the Rainy Sid of the Mountain..." by @ktwagner.bsky.social. I really really loved the story. (And the person I most want to recommend it to is not on bsky so I'll have to send an email.) hellitself.com/on-the-rainy...

Red paint background with the cover for Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror on the left. The cover lists the editor, Dianna Gunn, the author of the foreward, Alex Woodroe, and the names of the authors: R Haven, Ondine Mayor, Enoli Lee, Ash Vale, Justine White, Kelli Etheridge, Ava Victoria Black, Allay Rei, Soyam Siddha, Sam Rosewilde, A.H. Davison, Meg Calendaria, KT Wagner, Anne Wilkins, Bogi Takacs, Amanda Cecelia Lang, Elise Scott, Mia Dalia, Raluca Balasa. The right side says: A human-shaped figure lies on a table in the centre of the room. Astrid. A pale green cotton sheet flows over her breasts, flat stomach, and full hips. Lifelike in every way, except no adult female human can claim a functioning uterus. The state is thorough, funneling a lot of resources to ensure this is the case. Women cannot be trusted with the future of mankind. ~ Excerpt from With Child by KT Wagner

It's release day for Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror from Renaissance Press. My story is "With Child" www.goodreads.com/book/show/23... #choicesanthology #sciencefiction

Wonderful review of Fractured Reveries:

"A powerful and timely anthology told with razor-sharp, devastating prose. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, fairy tales, and stories of resistance." ~ Gwendolyn Kiste, 4-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Haunting of Velkwood & Reluctant Immortals

I rec'd the autoreply earlier. I was going to resubmit tomorrow, but I'm happy to hear my story is safely in the queue. Otherwise, it would have been the 51st rejection for this little story.🙃

Never thought about it before, but I think this is true for me too. 🙃

‘Yeti blood oath’ divides Denver seminary ‘A well-intended moment, it clearly went badly wrong and never should have happened.’

Yesterday @citymystic.bsky.social sent this to me and I’m just so grateful to have been able to live the kind of life where people immediately think of me when they come across headlines like “Yeti Blood Oath Divides Denver Seminary”

Excellent! And congrats to you, too. I look forward to reading your story.
