Out today – my new short story, “The Isle of Skiy”! And look at the shiny Amazon number one banner – thank you all!!

“The Isle of Skiy” is something slightly different for me – this short story is more fantasy than romance, though there is an MM romance in it! It’s about…ocean magic, and an isolated island, and a new-to-the-throne young king who has some questions about what, precisely, keeps his people and his island so hidden away from the world…oh, and his new household minister might be harboring secret radical tendencies, not to mention being terribly attractive in an officious sort of way…
By the way, this is version three of this story – my draft labeled ‘version two’ is about twelve years old, something I wrote in grad school! It’s very Ursula K. Le Guin inspired, and also Patricia A. McKillip – Earthsea, The Changeling Sea, along those lines. (I have no idea where, or how old, the mysterious version one might be. I suspect it’s on an old computer someplace.)
