CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

This week’s short story takes us from the urban fantasy tale of farming, inheritance, family and flying pigs to the urban fantasy world of elven-human politics across dimensions and policing pixie-dust. Welcome to Reluctant Liaison .   I woke up in a car—upside down, staring into the faces of a half dozen pixies sitting on a tree branch. To one side, was a cliff face, to the other, sky, and things were starting to shift. Apparently, I’d had an interesting night… if only I could remember what it was, and why I’d run, and why following the pixies scared me almost as much as the idea of staying in the car… Reluctant Liaison is available as a stand-alone short story at the following links: books2read.com/u/bPJp6A . You can also find Kristine Kathryn Rusch's latest free short story over on her blog: kriswrites.com . Why don't you go and check it out?
