I have been thinking and working on other novels, but there is often quite a long gap between idea, execution, and publication. I will be sure to post here when I have any news.
Happy Reading!(less)

The Library of the Apocalypse

Happy May Day! Happy short story day! Hah. Yes, I have a new story out today and it is a truly special one for many reasons, which I will lovingly detail below. The Library of the Apocalypse is a science fantasy story set in a future dystopian Toronto, and is free to read online in Issue 224 of Clarkesworld Magazine. It’s a very Canadian story, and one I could not have imagined writing a year ago.

“The only binds are those that you lay on yourself, or those that you allow to be laid on you.”
Rati Mehrotra, Markswoman

“Men prefer to keep power to themselves. They make rules that dictate who gets to use it, and how, and why. I broke those rules when I saved you with my magic, and I’ll never regret it.”
Rati Mehrotra, Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove

“She would not cry in front of this man who had torn her world apart. She would wait for an opportunity and kill him.”

“She would not cry in front of this man who had torn her world apart. She would wait for an opportunity and kill him.”
Rati Mehrotra, Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove

“You were bringing me all those flowers when I was sick, like you were wooing me. How could my poor, weak heart resist?”
Rati Mehrotra, Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove

“Men prefer to keep power to themselves. They make rules that dictate who gets to use it, and how, and why. I broke those rules when I saved you with my magic, and I’ll never regret it.”

“A spiritual warrior accepts his punishment with the same indifference that he accepts his reward.”
Rati Mehrotra, Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove

“You’ve got to learn how to kiss like that,” she said. “What teeth!” She’d meant to say technique, but “teeth” was an equally good choice of word.
“And you are an excellent judge of kissing, are you?” he said, glancing at her, his voice flat.
“A better judge than you,” said Katyani.”
Rati Mehrotra, Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove
