My favourite above all was ‘Inksucker” by Aidan Doyle. I loved this one so much I wanted to hug it. Some sentences were gorgeous gems, a delight to read and really good to see someone playing with language, and showing how much fun writing, and stories, can be. I would love to read more short stories in this world!

Just sold a short story to Strange Horizons.

It was my first acceptance by Strange Horizons after submitting 11 stories to them over the years.  So persistence does pay off!

And it’s my third SFWA-level professional short story sale.

She workshopped the story at Clarion in week 5.  It was interesting for me to see how the revised story turned out.

Assassins, magic and monkeys!  What’s not to love?
