The Kaleidoscope Jaguars of the Jungles of Mexicatl

Like The Monkey's Journal, this collection is primary fantasy, but the stories are perhaps a bit more eclectic. The Kaleidoscope Jaguars of the Jungles of Mexicatl and The Wretched Sunlight of Shasta follow a self-described low-level sorceress to different worlds. I've included a bonus snippet of travel preparations prior to The Kaleidoscope Jaguars. Crate Training is a a piece of werewolf flash fiction that I entered into a contest. It didn't win the reader's choice that week, but the website editors did choose to include it in their yearly collection. It's cute and, well, biting. The Body Mage's Foot, an alternate world fantasy, is just plain weird. Borders on light body horror. If you're squeamish, skip this one. Or you'll never look at meatballs the same way again. Blood Tracks explores one young woman's experience with genome-changing nanobytes. I really like Bettina-I hope I'll be "seeing" and writing more of her story. The Girl Who Created a Mechanico Menagerie is based on one of my favorite fairy tales, The Boy Who Drew Cats, and is an alternate world fantasy as well.
