I read a lovely little short story this week: ‘The Rental‘ by Liam Slade is well worth your time. Here’s the premise:
What if you got a letter one day informing you that you were only renting your body… and payment was due?
What’s particularly nice about it is the body positivity, and the way a piece of transgender fiction can be fun – y’know, as opposed to being grounds for a big ol’ moral panic. Have a look?
Meanwhile, I’m stuck waiting for Amazon to release ‘The Color of Deception’ to the online store, tragically refreshing my screen every five minutes and nervously hopping from one foot to another. You know what? A watched pot never boils: I’m going to bed.
I shouldn’t really be anxious: I’ve read the thing about ten times in the last two weeks – but if you manage to snag a copy of my story before I do, please be nice!
Now I’m sat here hitting refresh.

Me too! Amazon are being very tardy for some reason. Maybe their publishing people only work Monday to Friday? Here’s hoping…
(Edit: it finally came out.)
