Good story news!
Not One of Us accepted my story "Catalyst." It will probably appear in the October issue, in time for my birthday.
"Catalyst" is one my favorite of the Alondra stories. Part of it is set in The Shot-Out Eye, a cafe in Prague where I drank absinthe legally for the first time. The story inverts the alchemical paradigm of the Red King and the White Queen while exploring purity of motive. I'm really proud of it.
I'm honored to have my work appear in Not One of Us again!
Curiosity is the single most important attribute with which humans are born. Curiosity is a powerful tool, like a scalpel or a searchlight. It is a way to affect change -- even to initiate global change -- on a personal level.”
