It&#8217;s about memory, the power of storytelling, crows, fear of the unknown (and, for other characters, a desire to reach out and embrace the unknown), and maintaining a thread of hope for a different future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is my first published secondary world fantasy. I read a lot of secondary world fantasy, maybe more than any other SFF sub-genre by volume, but somehow my publications to date have been contemporary fantasy, slipstream, or (in one case) sci-fi, so I&#8217;m glad to have got something out there in a secondary world. Vaille and Embrit, the main characters, were some of my favourite characters to write so far, too. I started writing this story in 2019 so I&#8217;ve spent a fair amount of time with them and wanting to know their story was one of the things that kept bringing me back to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story is structured with what might generally be referred to as a frame story, in which an old woman is telling a group of children a story from her own youth, but the frame is interwoven with the main story as the listeners (and one listener in particular) interject and ask questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope you all enjoy! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My story &#8220;The Crow Bridge&#8221; is out now in Luna Station Quarterly.
