And my heart is like the sea, always in motion

My short story "Imperator Noster" is now freely available online as the twenty-seventh installment of Maya Chhabra, Jo Walton, and Lauren Schiller's New Decameron.

This concentrated hit of secret sea-history was originally published in Genius Loci: Tales of the Spirit of Place (ed. Jaym Gates, Ragnarok Publications 2016) and inspired by C.S.E. Cooney's enigmatic summary of her 2014 New Year's: "On parties. And seaweed. And Roman Emperors." The Romans called the Mediterranean Mare Nostrum, "Our Sea." The title of the story is the same construction—"Our Emperor."

I am so glad to have it be part of this cycle of stories now. I look forward to the day when it will be safe again for everyone to go to the sea.
