“Evolutionary Tendencies Observed in the Callentradian Snare” Up at Mad Scientist Journal!

As mentioned in this post, I sold a story back in January to Mad Scientist Journal and it went live today, along with a gorgeous illustration by Justine McGreevy.

This is the first time one of my stories has been illustrated and it’s such an indescribable feeling to be able to see with my eyes an artist’s vision of something that I’d previously seen only in my mind.

The story is “Evolutionary Tendencies Observed in the Callentradian Snare” and the illustration is, fittingly, of a snare — a fictitious bird from a fictitious planet, but  now very real-looking indeed and quite beautiful.

I’ve linked to it below so you can see for yourself.
