Also published today: “Gatekeeper, What Toll?” In this story, I take what would normally be a six-volume epic fantasy and shrink it to a thousandth of the size, by only showing glimpses of the fated hero as he passes through the Gate of Worlds.

Only accessible to subscribers to their website, but a $12 subscription buys you a year’s worth of stories.

This is my first pro-rate story to be published, though not the first I sold (I have another one scheduled to appear in November in Futuristica 2).

Ironically enough, Shakespeare is a significant inspiration for my own City of Masks, which is a fantasy completely without any magical elements at all.
