Thanks for sharing this story, Karlo! I just read it for the first time and… wow!

huge dragon (only the head visible) resting in a body of water in a forest. Lots of vines and tree branches dangling down, a stream running over its head and a great white egret taking off from the water next to it.

a mermaid with a pink tail resting on a rock and leaning back on her hands as her tail comes out of the water. In the background is a lagoon and some cliffs and further back the hint of a waterfall

a precarious tall hill with a wizard's house sitting on top of it with a wisp of smoke coming out of the chimney. It is dusk and all the windows are yellow with the light from inside.

a large winged blue dragon prepares to land on a nest with two baby blue dragons waiting in the nest for their dinner.

It's my birthday!! I'm 49 - how did that happen? I would LOVE it if you could share or follow my art for my birthday, that would be a brilliant gift! Thank you everyone who follows and comments, it is such a great place here! 49 feels ace btw. #artshare #birthday #watercolour

I’ve had fun with my anthologies. The 1st was WWI, a commercial topic to get things going. The 2nd is the Scientific Rev, which isn’t commercial. Hitting ignored eras is the real point of these, so we’ll see how it goes. If it makes its money back, we’ll go ancient with the 3rd.

What an honor to have my short story, “For the Pursuit of the Better,” featured here!

Thank you @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social! And thanks to @heartlines-spec.com for believing in my story. ❤️

Thanks for including my story! ☺️
