Read “Shy” for #Free at AntipodeanSF

ShapterShyWhat a week!

First I won a Ditmar Award (read more about that here), and now my flash fiction story Shy has been published over at AntipodeanSF.

“Our skies are covered in everlasting cloud, except for one hole we call the Break. It arrives above our island at the same time each day — letting the sun shine on the same hillside. My village hurries to lie here on mats, to soak up what warmth we can while chatting and buzzing along with dazzling sunbeams. Too soon, though, the Break glides away…”

– Evie is torn between three lives: the life she has, the life she needs, and the life she believes will never come. Trapped in their island village, her brother knows better than she does which life will be hers.

I’d love you to enjoy this free little read – it’s only short and will take but moments to devour. Read it over here when you’re ready.
