Short Story Download: "Brass Candy Girl" (Patreon)

My exclusivity period for "Brass Candy Girl" is up! Which means I can now share it outside the anthology it was published in. This story is a sequel to the short story "Elements of Freedom," which introduced the Tam-illee seismologist Carevei and is set in the Ciracaana homeworld subculture. I had always planned to write a sequel about her, but it slipped my mind until somefan said they really loved Carevei and wished they knew what happened to her. When the editor of that particular anthology told me "We're looking for stories about multiple kinds of love," I knew it was time!

Here's the story of Carevei and her college friend, Rayne. It's a found family story. It's even got a dog in it! Enjoy. :)
