ICYMI, THE POISON PALACE, my Alexander meets Indian poison maidens historical/myth retelling is out in January 2027. It traces his India expeditions upto his last days, but the story belongs to its teller, Eka, an Indian singer/courtesan/priestess to a powerful deity of snakes.
khōréō is simply one of the best magazines in our industry. There are only 28 Backers. If you are somebody who says they support marginalized SFF creators and posted about your sadness over Fantasy & FIYAH closing, you have this opportunity to make sure khōréō continues publishing amazing things.
