Three stories while I was gone

mrissaPublishing moves at its own pace, and sometimes things happen all at once. Sometimes they happen all at once while a person is recovering from influenza and traveling around the continent. Just, like a hypothetical person. You know. In theory.
So! I have three stories out recently. The one you can immediately read online is Purposeful, out in Daily Science Fiction. This is a flash piece I wrote in my dad's ICU room and is directly related to that experience. It may be a hard read for those reasons, but I'm glad that I wrote it, and I think Dad would be glad too.
Next up: I have a story about lichen and finding a new path when the one you were on closes, in the Nov/Dec issue of Analog, "Filaments of Hope." This should be available on newsstands, and also you can order a copy here.
Finally, and I do mean finally: one of the stories that has had the longest wait is finally out! "In the Ancestor's New House" appears in Spirits Unwrapped, edited by Daniel Braum and published by Lethe Press. This is one you can ask a bookstore to order for you, or you can get it on Indiebound or Amazon or wherever you like really. This is an anthology of mummy stories, so it is not at all my usual sort of thing...except that I read loads of books about Inca mummy societies and how they were affected by the Spanish conquest, so it's not not like me either....
