Human Tales
I can't believe I haven't yet announced this!
It is with great delight that I announce jennifer_brozek accepted my short story "A Tithe for Homecoming" for the forthcoming Human Tales anthology from Dark Quest books.
The conceit of the anthology is cautionary tales of humans told from the perspective of supernatural creatures. "A Tithe for Homecoming" is a Southern fairy tale involving elm dryads, an Appalachian Baba Yaga figure, and a beleaguered girl called Laura Jane.
