The Golden Key (cover)
I had the wonderful opportunity to illustrate Issue 5, Things that Float for The Golden Key, a journal of speculative and literary writing. The pieces in this issue are really fantastic and gorgeous and floaty, and were such a joy and challenge to illustrate!
Thanks so much, LiAnn and the editors, for letting me be part of this issue!
Huge thanks to Priscilla Boatwright for providing the stunning artwork to Issue #5: Things that Float—her art alone makes each piece a reread!

For Issue 4 of The Golden Key, we are in search of hungry things.
Loud-smacking lips. Quivering jowls. Beasts with a keen taste for playing with their food.
Whet our appetites, then deny them. We want gnashing teeth, insatiable yearning. Irresistible smells winding out of a pot. Steam leaking from beneath a closed door. The low rumbling thunder of a long-denied stomach.
Whip us up cravings we didn’t know we could have. Make us hungry for salt water, witches’ brew, vapors. Invite us down paths our noses insist that we follow. Conjure the ache of a food shortage, rations, a whole continent under the flame of its famine.
Give us hunger that’s insistent, burdensome, loud. Push us past the trails hunger can blaze, the wreckage an unyielding appetite can produce.
Show us a thirsting, a yen, a yearning, a lusting in the belly—for things far more wicked and heady than food.
Deadline: March 31, 2014
