Popping in briefly from my newsletter break to let you know that 1) the latest manuscript draft is in my editor’s possession, and 2) I have a brand new short story in the 2022 Fiction Issue of the Detroit Metro Times (our local alt-weekly).
I’ll share some of the backstory in my next letter, but without spoiling too much, I can say it’s a) my first published work of science fiction, and b) styled as a gadget review, in both content and appearance:
Read it here: Field Test: Hiking with the Daedrīm D4 Up Mt. Detroit
There’s a digital issue too, in case you’re curious to read it in situ (page 20). The story appears alongside work by some of my favorite local writer/artist friends, so I also recommend flipping through the whole thing when you’re done.
