meanwhile, on the internet

I'll have a new story posted here next week, but in the meantime, here's some short fiction you can read online right now (in no particular order):

• "Painless" by Rich Larson, my Clarion West 2014 classmate, at Tor.com
• "Poison" by Cyd Athens at Fireside Magazine
• "East of the Sun, West of the Stars" by Brit E. B. Hvide at Clarkesworld
• "When We Were Starless" by Simone Heller (one of this year's Hugo Award Finalists!) at Clarkesworld
• "Trusted Messenger" by Kevin Wabaunsee at Escape Pod
• "The Cartographer Wasps and the Anarchist Bees" by E. Lily Yu at Clarkesworld
• “If at First You Don’t Succeed, Try, Try Again,” by Zen Cho (one of this year's Hugo Award WINNERS!) at Barnes & Noble's SFF Blog

Yes, some of those are very old. I confess that all of these were open tabs on my web browser for the longest time, and I've now shared them with you. Enjoy!
