Speaking of short stories, a couple of months ago, I wrote a round-up of lit mags that both honor the classics (especially swashbuckling sword & sorcery tales) and meaningfully innovate on them. If you want to broaden your fantasy and sci-fi reading, I highly recommend checking them out! Link below.

A short story from a yet-unexplored land!

The Lord of the Bad Road

Prose | May 4, 2024

In this month's spirit of adventure (and short story-writing), I've released a story for subscribers to read!
However, I can't go 100% public with the story because I'm waiting to see whether it get accepted for a magazine submission. For the time being, I've made it available to subscribers only, **but** anyone can subscribe to my world for free. You should have the option to subscribe if you click through to the story, or you can find the subscribe button on my world's homepage.
This piece is certainly a change of pace from what I've been writing, but often, different settings warrant such a change of pace, don't they? I hope y'all enjoy it regardless! Happy building and happy writing!
Obligatory(?) hashtag soup: #shortstory #AdventureApril #sword&sorcery #S&S #fantasy #UnofficialChallenge

Sample Tweet: "Mr Asarlai. How was the excursion to the dock?" He was the Boatswain for the ship and third in command. Mr Asarlai grunted his disapproval, "I'll feel better when we are on the open ocean" Dìondair Malairt #WAShipChallenge #TuesdayFiction #ShortStory #Fantasy #WorldAnvil
