A Free SF Story

There's a lot of good science fiction being published online, some of it free to read. "Any Way the Wind Blows" by Seanan McGuire is an alternate worlds story, which happens to be one of my favourite subgenres of science fiction.

This is a quick, entertaining read with a nicely worked out background that would make a good basis for a novel. There's one thing that readers who aren't familiar with the SF publishing industry might miss. As you might guess from the "cover" picture, New York's Flatiron building plays a major part in the story. Until last month, it was the home of  Tor Books, the pre-eminent publisher of science fiction and fantasy.
