Thrilled to share this (freeee!) story with everyone at last!

I hope you enjoy our protagonist—a grump-with-a-heart-of-gold forest ranger—and that you ooh and ahh over the beautiful cover by my dear friend Xenia, linked in the front matter + on my site, as she takes commissions!

Happy reading ☕️📚🍃

okay who wants a sneak peek of my super cool and fun short story dropping tomorrow as part of @michaelastackpole.bsky.social's chain story project 👀

have a tiny snippet of the cover art + an early scene! 🍃
a small square of the cover art of my short story for release tomorrow, featuring the outline of illustrated gold leaves along the right side, on a background of warm green layers and shapes—unclear what it is! there's a four-pointed pale star on the right and some pale speckles beneath it. A snippet of my short story, which reads, From Bex’s tight-lipped uncertainty, she needs more clarity, too. “Let me say it back to you,” I suggest. “To make sure I understand.” The king inclines his benevolent head. “Of course.” “Your Royal Forest—” Outside the capital, 15 square miles of lush green woods, long the personal hunting grounds of royalty and their hangers-on. Lords. Whatever. “—has come up blighted.” “Right so far.” “And you’ve sent three squads to investigate, but none have returned.” “Correct again.” “So now you’re sending me to investigate, and I may not return.” Emil, still at the king’s side acting more servant than secretary, draws his thin brows together. “Have a care for your impertinence.” “There,” says the king, hand rising to hush Emil, “we lose one another. “I’ve sent soldiers and hunters and trackers, none with the experience you have, and none with the Green Speech. You have a much better chance than any of them. I doubt you’ll have their ill luck.” I frown. “Green Speech or no, my experience is with the North Woods. Those are evergreen lands. Coniferous growths. The Royal Forest here is deciduous. I don’t know half so much about that kind of flora, nor what among them could cause a blight so deadly—” “I don’t need you to taxonomize the place. Just learn from the blight exactly what you learned from my violet and trace it to its source, then eliminate the problem. You’ve cured blights before, haven’t you?” Cured isn’t a word I’d use, but Emil looks like the vein above his brow might pop if I correct the king, so I mutter, “Of course.” “They are curable, are they not? Dead animals in water sources, Elder Kind runes unearthed in badger tunnels?” Beside me, Bex finds an interesting thread in her cloak; she must be itching to correct his vocabulary. “Blights can be reversed,” I say. “But if your soldiers aren’t coming back, the source may be a great deal more troublesome than runes appearing in badger setts.” Bex smirks. “Precisely.”
