I’m happy to announce that my story “A Place to Grow” is now free to read at Beneath Ceaseless Skies!
I’m pretty excited about this one. It was a huge technical challenge for me and took many, many drafts to get right. I’m not exaggerating when I say it took years for me to learn how to pull this story off. (I think I wrote the opening paragraph back in December 2013?) I’m extremely grateful to my very patient friends and very patient editor who help me through the iterations.
The song I played on repeat as I was writing and revising this story was “Outro” by M83. Because, naturally, my characters needed an epic soundtrack as they were trying to rebuild the world around them.
Hope you enjoy!
Enchanting story! Reminds me of “When I Built This World,” a song by Brian Eno and Karl Hyde: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZvyWQXwhoM
Congratulations on the publication!
