There’s a very particular joy that comes with a story you love finding not one but two homes—that two editors read your work and thought, “Yes, I want to put that out into the world.” It’s a great privilege to be able to share my weird little wordcreatures with the world, and reprints make me just as giddy as new publications.
“Girl in Glass, Brightly” (previously published in Spirit Machine) has made its digital debut in Gamut Magazine, and I am delighted. I mean, look at that cover.
Elspeth knows about wanting—that it aches in your gut, white-hot, burning, and cools just as fast, into something solid as stone but frail to the touch. Not like Annabelle, beautiful Annabelle, who knows only about getting—how light it is, how easy.
