Beskrivning
A set of six short stories by Chris Howard, author of Seaborn, Saltwater Witch, and Sea Throne.
Always Becoming
Hammers and Snails
Captain's Mistake
The Gatherer
Diminisher of Peace
Superfun Sites
Published in January 2006 issue of The Harrow, "Always Becoming" is about what it means be a witch, that growth, as a state, is superior to completeness. A real witch lives for the journey, not its end. Making way for the next witch isn't always easy, but it's part of the job. You have to balance the gardening, baking and midwifery with curses, sin and things that come back from death.
"Hammers and Snails" was a Heinlein Centennial Writing Contest winner in 2007.
Chris wrote "Captain's Mistake" for the very first science fiction and fantasy writing workshop Jeffrey A. Carver and Craig Shaw Gardner now hold every year in Boston.
"The Gatherer" was at one time chapter seventeen in Chris's first published novel Seaborn, taking the story back a couple hundred years to find out how that whole Aleximor thing started. It was edited out of the final Juno Books edition, but now you can see how the hell someone placed a bloody handprint on the wall of cave a hundred feet underwater.
"Diminisher of Peace" appeared in the September 2005 issue of The Harrow. If you can see into the future, gods will take notice of you. Aldred's brother is killed unjustly and Aldred's forbidden to bury or honor him. He defies the decree, and makes a pact with strangers, an old man who won't show his face and a giant who requires a final battle before he lights the pyre for his brother. Aldred returns to face his doom and discovers that an agreement he has made in life pursues him after death.
"Superfun Sites" is a flash fiction piece that appeared a long time ago in Another Realm.
