Another sale!
This time to Circlet Press' Like a Myth anthology, for "One Thousand," a story based on the Kuhimo myth that turned surprisingly tender, for all the Kuhimo is supposed to be pretty evil...
But I think that's typical of me: always wanting to find the romance at the core of things.
This makes me ponder how closely related these words are: "kuhimo" ("nine-tailed fox") and "kumihimo" ("sometimes more than nine strings, all conspiring to be a foxy cord when finished")

*giggle*
So far, I haven't found any correlation--the thought did occur to me when I started researching huhimo legends last year.
