If you have been reading “When the Elves Are Gone” over at World of Myth, I’m happy to share that the third and final part is now available! you can read it here: https://jayzohub.com/darkmythproductions/theworldofmyth/112/fantasy/when_the_elves_are_gone/when_the_elves_are_gone.html?fbclid=IwAR2ErKkUK3-w0L_RztIEQMG_qLBl2XQT638cal_-MCtQXJ9x_xItQAl5zls
And here are parts 1 and 2 as well:
I’m really happy that the whole story is now published and out in the world. Hope someone has really enjoyed reading it, as well!
And if you’re an artist and you think this story would make a great graphic novel, now that all 3 parts have been published, developing a graphic novel edition of the story is definitely something I’d be up for . . . !
In other publishing news, I also have a poem, “Evolution of a Younger God,” now out in Issue 3 of Penumbra: https://www.hippocampuspress.com/journals/penumbra/penumbra-no.-3-2022?zenid=8c7osnu65jdlfi3jbc27mv6p94
And there are several other things in the pipeline–stories, poetry, academic articles, book reviews. It’s been a busy year! But not too busy to stop me getting out once in a while; today, for example, was a perfect autumn day at Hunter Stadium, watching the Lindenwood Lions in action with husband, child #2, and some colleagues. Our stadium is really lovely this time of year, no?
Hope your October is going well, and that you’re able to get out and enjoy the weather, especially in the northern hemisphere where the trees are at the height of their autumn glory. Bliss.
