Hey folks, the inaugural volume of Underland Arcana was published today, including my short story "The Gardener." This might be my last foray into the world of "The Garden of Blue Roses," but I don't know. The entire volume is available for free at https://www.underlandarcana.com. There are also links at that website for ebook and print editions. Enjoy!

Thank you so much, Robin! I really appreciate your kind words. The story is very much in and of that world, from a very different (and strange) perspective. I do hope you enjoy it!

Oh T, your words mean more to me than I can say. Truly. It's so hard to maintain faith in oneself as a writer, and you've absolutely made my day. I also love that your Tromso resembles the physical world of this story; it sounds like such a magical place!
