Eek! How did I not post this earlier?
My story “Body Language” is now up at OSC’s Intergalactic Medicine Show with an awesome cover illustration which you must now appreciate in all its glory.
And here’s a teaser of the story.
Saskia leaned into the darkness above the stage, only vaguely aware of the wood rail against her hips as she retied the left headstring on her marionette. On the stage below, the Snow Queen’s head eased into balance. The marionette telegraphed its stance back up the strings to the control in Saskia’s hands. She ran the Snow Queen across the set to check the repair, barely conscious of her own body on the bridge above the stage. It was almost like being immersed in a VR suit.
One of the techies called up. “Hey, Saskia? There’s a detective here for you.”
IGMS does charge $2.50 for access to the full issue, but that gets you a lot of fiction.
Love that illustration, madly!
Wow! That’s seriously one of the best illustrations I’ve ever seen.
I saw that amazing illustration on the IGMS facebook page and was blown away by it–I had no idea it was for a story of yours! Reckon I’ll go buy that issue now.
(If I were you I would totally want a high-res copy of that. I don’t know if that’s *done* or not.)
I adore it. I might write to the artist and ask for permission to print it.
