Jan. 2nd, 2022 06:46 pmStephanie Burgis's Spellcloaked is a short story in her Harwood Spellbook series. Set after Thornbound, it's a sweet sapphic romance which manages to make the villain of Thornbound into a sympathetic heroine, and as delightful as the rest of the series has been.
Rowany De Vere and a Fair Degree of Frost is a Patreon-only novella by Chaz Brenchley, set in his Mars Imperial (Crater School) universe. It features Rowany De Vere, former Head Girl of the Crater School, now grown up and working for the Mars Colonial Office and undertaking a mission to escort a Russian defector through a snowy Marsport to a safe house. Fun spy hijinks with some extra worldbuilding for Imperial Mars thrown in.
C.A.T.S.: Cycling Across Time and Space is an anthology of feminist SFF stories featuring cats and bicycles. I particularly enjoyed Kathleen Jowitt's story, about a trade union organiser and her cat taking a cycling holiday, and Alice "Huskyteer" Dryden's business case study about why bicycle sales to a planet populated by felines are so low; other stories featured steampunk suffragettes, scientists on Mars, robots and many more. This was a lovely collection (and made me kind of want a bicycle, even though I can't actually ride a bike).
