This week is spring break for all of the area schools, which means I have little to no chance for additional income this week. Thus, I am taking this week to look for another job. After browsing a few lists of advice for up-and-coming writers, I’ve noticed that “don’t quite your day job” is almost always said. It’s time to retroactively take that advice. Unfortunately, there are few things more nerve-wrecking than finding a new job.

As if hunting for a job is stressful enough, I have decided to release my newest short story into the wild. “House of Glass and Pearl” is a Steampunk love story set in a vaguely Edwardian setting (is that too late for the hardcore Steampunks?). It also flirts with the genre of Steamypunk, which may be the greatest sub-subgenre invented. Please enjoy.

On a less egocentric note, please take a moment to breathe in Adie Russell’s astoundingly beautiful work, especially her incredibly unique “Covers” project.
