Pride Children is my first short story with the fledgling speculative fiction magazine Empyreome. It was inspired by Ann Leckie’s incredible sci fi Ancillary series, which takes place mainly within a society where there are no gender constructs: it helped redefine how I read and thought about gender in books. I highly recommend her books–they’re some of my favourite science fiction stories ever–and also her interviews, like this great one with Tor (x). Pride Children is a story about cultures meeting, and the ways in between. It’s free to read over here (x) and I hope that you like it.
