I just finished edits today with D.F. McCourt over at AE Science Fiction. Look for “Hydra” very soon. I’m also pleased to announce that the illustration will once more be provided by Lisa Grabenstetter (who did an amazing job with my story “Grangy”). I was given a sneak peak of the new illustration and it’s awesome.

Those who have read my work will recognize “Hydra” immediately. It carries the same aesthetic, but this time explores the potential planetary ecosystem effects of prolonging human life by a century or two.
