Are you ready for a new story? Because I've got a fresh one, just for you. "Tank!" is free to read over at Diabolical Plots.
This is the story of a sapient tank going to their first nerd convention. Comics books, anime, movies - most of us love them and want a community. The tank wants a community. More than anything, the hulking piece of military technology wants to make some friends.
The story is the result of a conversation I had with Max Gladstone at one 4th Street. I have to thank him for beta reading it, as well as my other beta readers, Paul Starr, Cass Williams, Merc Rustad, and Alison Wilgus. Their support helped me believe in a story that, so far, is touching a lot of people. Maybe more of us have been the tank than we admit.

Loved it.
ReplyDeleteAnd may have been a tank in an earlier incarnation. Indeed I may still be...
Good one!
ReplyDeleteThis story made me happy for several reasons. One, I'm happy to read your work again. Two, Tank found his people. Three, (as I said on the other site) only you could have non-cisgender, lesbians, body-shaming, and gun-control wrapped in a fish-out-of-water story that wasn't really about any of those things at all. Also, I'm the worst at small talk. It's so useless.
