The art is by Sheila Squillante (sheilasquillante.com), and it’s perfect. I’m humbled. The only other time a magazine has commissioned original art to accompany my work was for "Rainbow Dogs," the companion to this piece. I’ve been trying to reunite the stories for 18 years. Came close this time.

When I sent Matt DiGangi this piece in 2007, he said it wasn't quite a Thieves Jargon story (it wasn't), but he was a sucker for a pixie cut. Thanks, Matt. And thanks to @bulbculture.bsky.social for the chance to share my first short story again. www.bulbculturecollective.com/read/the-hoo...

Currently writing something that spends a minute with Louis XII, so finding his old Paris crash pad (from before he was king) was a real fun surprise.
