Aimee Ogden is a former science teacher and software tester; now she writes stories about sad astronauts and angry princesses. Her work can also be found in Shimmer, Apex, and Escape Pod, and forthcoming in Analog.

Tina Connolly is the author of the Ironskin trilogy from Tor Books, and the Seriously Wicked series, from Tor Teen. Ironskin, her first fantasy novel, was a Nebula finalist. Her stories have appeared in Lightspeed, Tor.com, Strange Horizons, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, and many more.

Her narrations have appeared in audiobooks and podcasts including Pod Castle, PseudoPod, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, and her Parsec-winning flash fiction podcast Toasted Cake.

The school library doesn’t have the book you want. No surprise there. There are a few dozen volumes on its shelves; plenty of other books are out there in the cloud, but the part of the cloud with your book is partitioned off too. It’s in the Premium Access tier and a Title X school in Ass-Nowhere, Wisconsin is not exactly Premium Access quality. The librarian apologizes for that, but apologies don’t put the words in your hands.

I appreciated the restraint of the author in telling us the influential text(s) as that allowed us the room to fill it with our own. Nicely done!

All cat stories start with this statement: “My mother, who was the first cat, told me this...”
