I can’t tell you all how excited I am to have this story in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social

My 10,000-word novelette 'Aspect of the Moth' just got into Beneath Ceaseless Skies. It's the 15th Churchlands/Five Deserts story and the 6th to feature Tyrra the Painted, dye-worker turned wandering sorcerer. Also the first (published) to explicitly join that setting to my Broken Season stories.

I just remembered that last night I dreamed that @louisevans.bsky.social and I were on some kind of dropouttv type show but the challenge was to guest edit an issue of @bcsmagazine.bsky.social . Not sure how they made that into good tv but that's not my job.

So excited to have my debut fantasy short story “Clocksong” published in Beneath Ceaseless Skies @bcsmagazine.bsky.social № 467 Eighteenth Anniversary Double-Issue! Thank you Scott for believing in this story. I hope you enjoy my little story about clock bells, time, and a very strange banyan tree.
