A standalone adventure where the weeds are heroes. If you like alien ecology, family secrets, and a dash of fantasy in your sci-fi, this is for you!

Look what showed up on my doorstep today, as if by fairy magic! It's my contributor copy of Worlds of Possibility (vol 2) and it is absolutely gorgeous.

Pretty blue and purple hardcover of WoP volume 2, with ghostly dragon, cat, and spaceship flying whimsically around a woman's head

First page of my contribution, "Stories Never Die but Live Forever on the Wind"

Now look, I understand that you want to know why we haven't all Entwifed out of this shit, and frankly, sometimes I also want to know that. But there are many reasons for that, and one of them is that YOU FUCKERS WILL NOT LET US DO THAT.

And for those counting, yes, that is two separate cons I'm at this weekend. Bad idea? Maybe! Fortunately one is very near my house, and the other is virtual. Both will be fun! It will be great! Someone please just scrape my poor introverted self off the floor Monday morning. 😅

A flash reprint for you! How far would you go to disconnect, if disconnecting was illegal? A reminder to look up from your device and breathe. This goes on my list of "sadly more relevant than when I wrote it" stories. I suggest: give it a read, then go take a walk outside--without your phone.

You might think that "easily manipulated by freeze-dried meats" is a negative, but think it through: in the past, billionaires have bought presidents with millions of dollars. With Virga, any person with $10 and access to a pet store can buy the president. It's the ultimate democracy at work.
