In August, I got an acceptance from Abyss & Apex for my short story, "Cheatin'." My first sale, and the first short I've written since my freshman year. (That was when we had to make our own dirt. Out of wood.)
Today that story went live in Abyss & Apex's Q2 issue.
It's sci-fi; the two nastiest creatures on a broken and lost colony world have a go at each other. One is a vicious and cruel indigenous carnivore; the reason that every Homestead booby traps and mines every last vent or hatch when they huddle up for the long darkness of winter.
The other's a 12 year old girl.
Think of it as a heartwarming, coming-of-age tale about an adorable scamp with the stars in her eyes, and grenades in her pockets. Lots of 'em.
Wander by, kick the tires, let me know what you think.
You will all hold places of honor and glory in the New Regime.
