Hi everyone,
This is my first time here, posting my Aurora-eligible story and poem!
“Fairy Tales Are for White People”
http://www.firesidefiction.com/issue30/chapter/fairy-tales-are-for-white-people/
My story was chosen for The Year’s Best Dark Fiction and Fantasy 2017 after publication in Fireside Fiction. I wrote it for Kris Rusch’s fantasy workshop. She wanted a story with lots of sensual details about food. I decided to set it in Toronto’s Chinatown, a young boy vs. a fairy godfather.
It’s also available at Instafreebie, if you want different formats. https://www.instafreebie.com/free/YrKDt
Poem written in Los Angeles, for Summer Solstice after the Roswell Awards:
By the light of the kumquat tree
