I wrote this one day as a playful exercise, and after looking at it taped to my wall for three weeks, I now realize how deeply invested I am in making this fantasy a reality. There are just the small obstacles of time, the current state of human-squid relations, and my utter lack of knowledge about parenting giant spiders.
At least I have a nice start on the coffee machine collection. About the rest, a girl can dream.
My fantasy bio:
A. Katherine Black’s stories are often inspired by her frequent trips to Mars and Europa. When she isn’t rocketing around the solar system, she serves as Human Ambassador to the Giant Squid Nations of the Pacific. She lives at the bottom of the sea with her family, their cats and giant spiders, and her many, many coffee machines.
