Breadcrumbs and Sugar Houses--a new, free story

 Good morning!
Grimm, Grit, and Gasoline is a new anthology of  fairytales with a 1910s-1940s  Science fiction twist. And I… Well, I am not in it.  But the editor still loved my story so much  that she is publishing it  as a standalone short story to promote her book.

And I  can’t wait to read the book, because my friends Lizz and Jen are in it!  But  i’m sure I will have plenty of good things to say about their stories after September 3, when the book comes out. Let’s get back to my story for a moment.

Breadcrumbs and Sugar Houses  is loosely based on Hansel and Gretel,  but from the witch’s point of view.  You see, witches  aren’t actually evil. That’s just what the people in charge want you to believe. It’s all a conspiracy.  And it’s not the only conspiracy in town.

Mama Dulce runs a speaksweetly,  One of the only places in Boston where you can sate  your sugar fix now that the sugar prohibition  is during its second year.  See, witches  are usually beautiful fat women who use sugar to do magic,  so a bunch of bigoted politicians decided sugar is unhealthy. Immoral even.  And now a couple Bureau folks are on her tail, looking for any reason to paint Dulce as the villain they want her to be.

 Well this witch ain’t going down without a fight,  and she is determined to become the author of her own story.

Breadcrumbs and Sugar Houses features magic, robots, and a hell of a lot of molasses.
