A good thing among all the stress and chaos: my contributor's copy of Not One of Us #54 arrived. It's the home body issue, featuring work by Patricia Russo, Holly Day, Gillian Daniels, Yoon Ha Lee, and Erik Amundsen among others. I have two pieces in the table of contents, both other people's faults. "A Cherry Without a Stone" was written to a prompt from
yhlee: "a siege of cherry blossoms." It's one of my rare forays into secondary-world fantasy; it appears accompanied by an illustration by Yoon, the original of which I am lucky enough to have here still on a shelf beside me. "Keep the Home Fires Burning" was inspired by this post of
ashlyme's and is almost certainly a ghost poem. Order here! It is a good slice of autumn and estrangement, which about fits how I'm feeling right now.
