The Indoor Prince, by Brandon Case
Prince Geodendry, swatter of sunbeams, abhors the outside world. He has kibble, a windowsill, and a loyal attendant. But when one careless click of a lock leaves him stranded outside, Geo discovers a different way of life.https://t.co/D3jAfrq6sN
My story “The Death of Demons” is out today in Trollbreath!
It follows a swordsman haunted by an old mistake…

Starting an adventure with heartbreak and the desire to prove to oneself that I CAN is a powerful motivation—but can quickly became hazardous for someone stubborn, who often finds it impossible to back down… even when it would be wise to do so.
Aaah, I love Ball and Cassiopeia
and Small Wonders! 🤖❤️🛰️
Please give them a read, it’s
“Such a Simple Thing” as
Ray Lamontagne (and Cassi) would say,
just beware paper hearts to flame.
.@BrandonCase101 returns to our magazine with "Love, Falling From the Stars," a poem about Cannonball_Jellyfish_9c87.int,
a sea-cleaning robot who affectionately refers to himself as Ball, and his friend Cassiopeia the satellite.

@tftma11 Thanks for reading it 🖤🕷️ and I’m so glad you liked it!!
We really do suck sometimes, humans.
But we make art, and feel, and try… and there are good eggs sprinkled amongst the bad.
@LeannaRapier Check out The Submission Grinder
It had a list of markets you can filter by pay and story size, and David does a lot of work to make sure they’re legit (and puts warnings in anything suspicious).
@tinahagmann Thanks, Tina 😊
If you’re a member of SFWA, HWA, BSFA, or Worldcon, that’d be awesome. A few of my pieces are on their recommended reading lists, but getting a shortlist nomination would put my jaw on the floor (I’d die of happiness.)
Beyond that—anything that comes to mind 😁
