I’m excited to announce that my novelette “Veins of My Sister” has been published in the pages of Deep Magic’s Spring 2021 issue! :) This is my third publication of the year and only my second ever novelette sold!
“Veins of My Sister” is a science-fiction tale set in the far-flung future deep in the distant recesses of space.
Long after a war base has been deserted, it still thrives, now as a city called Tews, led by Jes, woman of grit who will stop at nothing to keep her home safe.
But it’s not just the people who give Tews its reputation as a force to be reckoned with, for it was a veined city, moveable through space, weapons reacting as fast as the thoughts of whoever controlled her. Only now, there are problems. One such being Jes’s sister returning abruptly, arriving into Tews completely ignorant of the bounty Jes has put on her head. And she didn’t come alone…
This is a tale about desperation and loyalty. Of sisterhood, with all the differences therein. But most of all, “Veins of My Sister” is a space adventure about finding and accepting your place as well as those of others.
And that cover! It’s beyond gorgeous! I want that dress! That cover is stunning and I’m so proud to be in the pages of this issue :) :)
