Some wonderful things for your reading pleasure:
J. Kathleen Cheney's Of Ambergris, Blood, and Brandy is up at Abyss & Apex:
The skin of the submersible groaned, an eerie sound to hear while trapped inside its metal body. Oriana pressed closer to the viewing window. She would rather be out there, in the water.

In other reading news, have begun to crave a Kindle. The free Kindle app for my iTouch induced me to get some books for it, but I don't like reading on the iTouch version, so now I want a Kindle to read the books that I bought in Kindle format. Oy. Smart barterds, Amazon.
Tina Connolly's story As We Report to Gabriel now live at Fantasy Magazine!
Miss Smith the one-legged governess took Linnie to the kitchen, pulled the magnetic wand from the cupboard. Linnie’s shimmer fled, and I had to concentrate hard on holding my shape. I only had a hazy notion of what went on above me till the wand was put away and the shimmer of fairy dust settled over Linnie once again. “You’re clean, I guess,” said Miss Smith dolefully. “Talking about fairies is your father’s bad blood coming out in you. I’ll figure out exercises to correct that.”

Set every few feet along the walls of the submersible’s viewing room, the white-painted casings of small round windows dripped water onto the fine teak decking, whether from leakage or condensation Oriana didn’t know. Even so, almost two dozen finely-dressed citizens of the Golden City pressed against those windows, straining to catch a glimpse of that great work of art, The City Under the Sea.
