Blackberry Picking: Published

First story out in 2024! Blackberry Picking, a frolic with a water spirit.



This one was accepted back in October, and is a 4700-word piece of fantasy erotica, heavily influenced by the story of Hylas from the Argonautica, by Apollonius of Rhodes. It also owes a fair amount to Till We Have Faces, by C.S. Lewis, which makes it even classier. Perhaps.



The market in question is a podcast, so you can listen to the story here:

It’s about forty minutes long.
