Once upon a time I had a fascinating dream. When I woke up, I wrote down the dream as it faded from memory. The result is a piece of microfiction called “The Hymn of the Pearl.” You can find it now at www.circlet.com.

I wrote the stories in Mate years ago. The Circlet Press publication is dated 1992, but the stories were written at least a year before that and posted on USENET, an early precursor of the World Wide Web. I’ve been surprised how well these stories held up over the years. Even when “Mate” was out of print and hadn’t yet been converted to an ebook by Circlet, I’d receive a couple of notes per year, often from folks who read my stories from an archive, praising the old stories and inquiring after new ones.
I’d have to say the nicest piece of praise ever showed up in my mailbox today. Let me show you what PD Singer has to say about “Mate: and more tales from the erotic edge of sf/fantasy.”
The ebook itself is available from Circlet Press
