At the annual Global Lijun Alliance conference in Tokyo, Tally Bastille makes the first impulsive decision of his life. Others perceive his uktena—the enormous legendary serpent that’s his dual-spirit—as a threat, which makes him all too aware that he frightens fellow lijun. But an encounter with a passionate, obviously not-straight otter lijun one evening convinces Tally that he’s found his Em’halafi, his destined match.

Flash Fiction: The Frog Prince

Frog Prince

This one’s fun. Boy Meets Boy asked me to write a flash fic piece and gave me a few photos to choose from as inspiration. Here’s the one I chose: And a teaser: “Holy crap.” Jillian Tinsnip’s spell had gone horribly awry. He was a bit of a crap magician to begin with.

My sleep pattern, already poor, got further messed up by travelling and the resulting time and climate zone changes. I couldn’t sleep for a few days straight, and that made the connection … Read more
