in case you missed it, i had a novelette published in @kaleidotrope.bsky.social yesterday, go check it out! “The Beasts of Altain” is dear to my heart. as the product of multiple cultures, there’s a sense of displacement, but also divided loyalty. this story is about that and also a cool beastie 🐅

The news comes to Asahar on the wings of bees first. They’ve always been the quickest to bring him information from across Altain, transmitting it to each other through their dances in exponentially growing spirals.

Raining Fire - 100k - Adult Sci-Fantasy WIP

When a disgraced military cadet learns that the authoritarian government she's devoted her life to is conducting unethical experiments on vulnerable members of the city, she flees into the sewers, falling into the very grass-roots extremist organization she was trained to uproot.

Images of a dingy city, ports, characters in gaslamp-style dress, with mecha guns and uniforms.

Quotes: Those who slept in the gutters, the workless, the dust-dazed, they we just weak. The Conglomerate would never allow someone to fail when they deserved success.

So this was what happened behind closed doors. Everything she'd worked for, struck from her record. Her entire career, ripped from her.
