Our "Who Am I? Sapphic Speculative Fiction of Identity & Purpose" anthology releases on Oct 30! Over the next few weeks we are highlighting the stories to give you a taste of the vibes to expect. Do you love watery, dark, ghostly tales? This is for you. @mac-bowers.bsky.social
A tile showing the Who Am I book cover, the authors name Mac Bowers, a quote from the story: “My love comes with the random rolling of the sea, brought in by a gentle tide and a southerly wind. I always wait for her, even though she tells me not to... She believes the sea to be a callous, fickle thing. But it sings to me, and brings her back to me...” and the story title "What The Tide Takes"
