New story coming

In what has become something of a rare event for me, I have new story coming out at the end of the month. gryphonrose and RG invited me to contribute to the second volume of their shared world series, ReDeus: Beyond Borders, coming out at the end of May. The premise of the setting is that the ancient gods have returned--all of them, all at once. The stories in the first collection, ReDeus: Divine Tales, set the stage. The second collection deals with the phenomenon internationally, many of them set a number of years after the Return. My story is set in Egypt and it's a pretty intimate one.

The editors asked me if I would contribute a piece to their blog talking about my story. While we wait for the book to come out, here's a glimpse into my thinking about the story and about the gods who appear in it.
