Jul. 31st, 2022 11:12 amI have a new short story out! It's an audio short for the Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast titled "A Farce to Suit the New Girl" (transcript available here for those who don't do audio fiction) about Yiddish theater, wlw hostility, and the assassination of Tsar Alexander II.
Technically I think this is my first published non-sff piece, although in my heart it's set in the same world as the Yudah Cohen stories -- there may be nothing supernatural going on on the page, but writing it did thoroughly curse my computer, as evidenced by this snippet of my attempt to find/replace a character's name from 'Ester' to 'Ida' while editing the second draft:
'Ida was packing up Ida Ida of Ida Ida when Ida heard footsteps behind Ida, and sprang to Ida Ida. Ida heart was hammering in Ida chest, as it had Ida, on and off, Ida since Ida brought Ida news.
Ida woman who stood behind Ida took a startled Ida back. “Ah – you’re Ida costumer? Ida said you’re to Ida my measurements.”'
I have not been able to reverse-engineer what happened and I have not been able to successfully find/replace a set of words in LibreOffice since, but nonetheless I am very happy to have this short story up on LHMP! worth the curse!
