Last November I submitted a short story to a proposed anthology for deaf and hard of hearing authors who write in the field of fantasy and science fiction.I've been working on a series about Mira Hunter, Mage of Boston. She has a complex life living with one foot in the mundane world and the other in the world of magic. She's a wounded warrior, has a morbid sense of humor, and struggles in the way so many of us do, especially in understanding things outside of her realm of experience.
Ghostly Demands is a look into what it would be like to deal with things even a magic worker doesn't understand. Because a Mage is not a Medium.
Tonight I received notice that Gallaudet University accepted Mira's story, giving her a voice in the world. Wrapped up with a hellhound, a medium, and a haunting, this is a story to give us all pause about what's important beyond the veil and how we deal with our losses.
No name on the anthology yet. We're going into pre-production editing and as soon as I know something it will be up for everyone to see.
We're off to give Mage Mira and her friends a presence in the world of humans!
