When I’m allowed I’ll post details about the markets and stories (one is a fantasy story set in the same universe as The Tale of Lady Spite and From the Sea, the other is sci-fi and is in fact the first story of my ‘Wanderer‘ sc-fi future universe which terminates with The End of the Road, published by Not One of Us ).
