After Dinner Conversation is offering the ebook of my story “Venom in the Cloud Forest” for free today and tomorrow, as well as “Two-Percenters” by CJ Erick! 

I completed the first draft of “Venom in the Cloud Forest” about a decade ago, well before it found its original home in the Guardbridge Books anthology Myriad Lands Vol. 2: Beyond the Edge.  At the time when I wrote it, social media was prevalent, but the landscape looked somewhat different than it does today, and “fake news” was less of a household term although it’s been a longtime issue along with historical negationism.  

I’m simultaneously pleased and dismayed that my story continues to be relevant.
