"Sea Gifts" is out

Drollerie Press has released my story "Sea Gifts" in an ebook collection with the same title. I'm particularly proud of this one. I wrote the beginning--The sea brought gifts to the isle-witch--then went on to find out that a dragon's skeleton was among those gifts. Korean folktales are rife with mention of the Dragon King who rules the seas, so I borrowed him, and gave him a human shape and a taste for revenge...and human cooking.

It was probably also inspired (in a backbrain sort of way) by Patricia McKillip's Changeling Sea, which also deals with dragons from the sea and unwise sorceries. It's a lush tale with wry moments, short and sweet and a little wistful.

In any case, you can get "Sea Gifts" from Drollerie here.
