Corry L. Lee’s Weave the Lightning (Solaris, 2020) is a gorgeous beginning to a series about dangerous magic, totalitarian government, and finding love in spite of the odds. With many parallels to Russian and Eastern European countries and governments in the early twentieth century, the story feels like an alternate history-inspired fantasy world. The main characters, […]

My published alternate history (which I prefer to call fantastical history) can primarily be found in two collections: Unfixed Timelines and Unfixed Timelines 2. Both of these collections include stories along with brief essays on the history that inspired them. I’ve got plans for an eventual third volume in this series, and at that point, I plan […]

It’s not entirely true, but it’s still quite evocative. (I talked more about that here, and also in the essay in Unfixed Timelines 2 […]

The backstory behind “All That Transpires under the Night Sky” is an odd one. I had started the story several years before I finished it. For whatever reason, it wasn’t working, and I shoved it into a folder of things to work on some other time. This proved effective when I was later looking for […]
