Happy to announce that “Suvu and Swashbuckling Love” will appear in podcast form in StarShipSofa! So excited!
The story originally appeared in Andromeda Spaceways Magazine and was chosen for the year’s best issue.
I’m glad to see that this tale of AI bravery will be coming alive in multiple ways—and given the many languages in the story, I can’t wait to hear the final narration!
—with thanks to EIC Jeremy Szal, Associate Editor Gary Dowell, Producer Tony C. Smith & the editorial team!

The cover of the issue, “The Storkfriars” by Sean Andrew Murray, is also stunning and visually captivating! Look at those sharp angles of those beaks juxtaposed against the otherwise curvy backdrop of that arch behind them (framing the centered subject of attention), yet with a hint of that sharpness in the upper-right minaret-like structure. And the colors! Just draws your eyes right to these creatures.
My June 75-word challenge story “Tough (P)luck” is up.

This month I went for a little bit of humor–but the twist is legitimately scary! 🙂
