Hiking Whilst Commuting
A reprint of my short story Hiking in My Head is out this week from Commuter Lit. They publish a short story of various genres every weekday, formatted for mobile devices so that commuters have something short to read on their journey.
The story was originally published at Daily Science Fiction and then published in Polish back in 2014, and has had a bit of a resurgence this year with translations in German, Romanian and Galician, as well as this English reprint.
