Actually - I lie - I haven't pimped this last month's High Ball yet, and I do get all godmother y and invested in the stories I edit, [even the ones I never post about because I am teh crap sometimes].

But this month's really is a delight - Trick and Seth - Navajo cousin-brothers - are a wonderful pair of characters with so many layers and secrets, and there are moments when the story is fantastically domesticated - in a you can smell the dust and taste the coffee and almost feel the heat on your shoulders and the slide of skin under your finger tips kind of way - and moments that are just down-right creepy. There's shape shifting and story telling and sex and surprises.

Check out My Brother, Coyote here [for other file types follow the link at the bottom] and to read an interview with the author, take a look here.

Also
- I have Thoughts about the process of editing and how it's affecting my writing, and the communal aspect of doing it as beta-ing for friends vs doing it as work-for-the-press and logophilos's entry about finding a beta reader and the nature of those relationships, from a little way back, over at the_originals, but, fortunately or un, I have to get back to the day job instead. Hey ho.
