Cats. Also bags.

I suppose since The Slush God has released the table of contents, I can finally release one of my cats from my bag. Of cats.

My story "Hard Times for Bartleby Crow" will be included in Shimmer's upcoming pirate issue. It's a tale of a pirate, a mouse and... well, basically a pirate and a mouse. All I know of the other stories are the titles, but what titles! I can't wait to read the rest of them.

If, like many people you are thinking: "Hm. My (nothern hemisphere) summer has been OK, but it's really been lacking in the pirate department" Then get thee to the Shimmer website afore ye perish. Avast!
