Eco-anxiety takes on a life of its own in this laugh-out-loud climate fiction meets body horror meets rom com short story about the dangers of lusting after your neighbour('s laneway house) & the pursuit of eco-sainthood in Issue 90 (April 2023) of Fantasy Magazine.

"Children of Earth" features a goblin-mode Millennial, toenail cryptids, and a shared compost bin—and it's available to read (or listen in podcast/audiobook form) for free here as of today. Purchase the full April edition or subscribe for even more fantastic speculative lit at Fantasy Magazine.

Podcast/audiobook version narrated by Judy Young. Longlisted in the 2023 Commonwealth Short Story Prize. Honourable Mention in the 2022 Writers of the Future Awards.

While it's far from my first publication credit, this is both my first audio adaption and my first SFF pro-market sale, so it's an exciting milestone! So pleased to share this little dose of weirdness with the world. :D

With thanks to Arley Sorg for hands-down the best editing experience I've ever had, Dean Wesley Smith for the killer workshop that spawned this monstrosity, and fellow Canadian SFF writer Rebecca Schaeffer's MARKET OF MONSTERS series for the twisted inspo (& Mirella's name).
