Woke up this morning to a nice review of my short story “Still You Linger, Like Soot in the Air,” which is out in this month’s Lightspeed Magazine (read now with a subscription, read free on 8/13). Quick Sip Reviews says the story is: “Emotionally powerful…wrenching heartbreaking…A wonderful read!”
