"From the Root" in Lightspeed Magazine

Read the culmination (or maybe just the beginning?) of my obsession with wretched 18th century surgical history, From the Root, out today in Lightspeed Magazine. There's even a podcast version, thrillingly. 

This is my first historical fiction/fantasy, but probably not my last, because I had such a blast writing it -- and it was my week 6 story at Clarion West, so will always hold a special place in my heart.
