Gwenda Bond, rockstar!
My Write Club cohort, Ms. Gwenda Bond, just published her first story, Cassie Says, in The Journal of Mythic Arts where you can read it online. For free! It’s a fantastic story and it’s been amazing to watch it transformed as Gwenda reworked it over the past year (two years?). I can honestly say that I had nothing to do with the miraculous finished effort, but I get to be all proud anyway because, d00d! I read it way before you did! And I knew it when it was just a wee young thing. Gwenda’s got the goods, peeps!
There’s also a very great, very short piece by Holly Black, Going Ironside. It’s exactly like being inside the brain of an over-caffeinated teenager. Even if that teenager happens to be fey and not so human. Same thing, right?
I know I’m supposed to categorize these with words like ‘YA’ and ‘fantasy,’ but fuck that. They’re great stories. Period.
