My story in The Speculative Detective Agency is set in Singapore's central business district, about an unnaturally work-addicted team of financial analysts. Maybe they're just really passionate about spreadsheets... or maybe it has something to do with that cursed e-learning course...

I love a god gaining humility in "The God of Minor Troubles" by @meganflchee.bsky.social. Plus bonus badass old lady! "The Hidden Heart of Brass Attending" by @cscott-author.bsky.social was so unexpectedly sweet. I loved the heartrending, soft underbelly under all of that cold, unyielding brass. >
