On Spec is one of Canada’s top speculative fiction magazines and has been for 35 years, so having a story in the December, 2023 issue (#126) certainly fills in a square in my writerly bingo card.
“The Grammar of Jespersen-b” is about finding a path forward when your world is constantly being turned upsidedown. It’s about real world struggles to adapt to new situations and new realities. I hope that, after you read it, it will resonate for a while in your mind, like the lingering note of a meditation gong.
You can find On Spec at local bookstores or purchase single issues and subscriptions at onspec.ca.
