It's been pointed out to me that with the way chapter two of "The Forbidden Name" went up early, people who follow me or the story weren't notified when chapter one went up this past Tuesday. So here's your notice.

Apologies for chapter two of "The Forbidden Name" going up early.  I must have made a mistake when scheduling it to appear in due course along with the other chapters.  I'm too tired to work on it tonight, but tomorrow (hopefully) I'll schedule the other chapters to appear -- probably on the next six Tuesdays rather than later in the year on Thursdays, as  I originally planned.  I don't think it's fair to make you wait until November to read the rest after teasing you with one chapter.

Could you add a link here to "Scouts" on the other sites? I don't use the other sites because they don't format well for phones. 

My new novella, "Fortune-Told," is available in epub, pdf and mobi formats from itch.io, either by itself or as part of the Secret Trans Writing Lair's Spring Cleaning Bundle.

The final chapter of "The Wakened Princess" is up, in case you've been wating to read it all in one go.  Next week "Nine Months and Counting," a far-future post-apocalyptic story, will begin serializing on Saturdays.

Sorry to bother you but I was curious to know something about one of the worlds that some of your books share. In the divergence world what species are there in the states of Utah and Oklahoma?

Do you have other age regression stories asides from The Mural and the Cabinet? Like on your smashwords or something, always interesting to see trans people get a second chance at life.

I've posted a new El Goonish Shive fanfic to AO3.

"A Post-Scarcity Christmas" has been posted to *False Positives and Other Stories*.  For some reason, Scribblehub sorts authors' lists of stories by the date the *first* chapter was posted, not the latest, so it's buried on the second page, thus the profile post to promote it.

I have a new metafictional novelette, "Umpteen Characters in Search of a Self-Insert," in a new bundle anthology, Santa's Secret Transfic Stash vol 4.

I finally got around to adding Shared  Universe links to all the Valentine Divergence and Trust Machines stories.

My short story, “The Accidental Detective,” is part of the Secret Trans Writing Lair One Prompt, Many Paths Bundle, with ten highly divergent stories by trans authors based on the same simple prompt. (Full disclosure: “The Accidental Detective” is also in Gender Panic and Other Stories, published a few weeks ago.)

My new short fiction collection, _Gender Panic and Other Stories_ contains 253,777 words of transgender fiction: seven short stories, seven novelettes, one novella, and two short novels.  Six of the stories (including both novels), 163,290 words, have never appeared online before.
