Hi! I thought this story was really good--the world seemed interesting and well-thought out and like there was a lot more fascinating stuff behind what was shown. I really enjoyed the gods and their carefully parsed words, and the sense of mystery and constrained power about them. The exposition was handled deftly, and Voud was a great protagonist for this tale. The bio at the end mentioned that you had other stories set in this world--have any of those been published yet?
Yes, some of the other stories set in this world are published. Two at Helix, and one coming up in the next issue of Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine. The two at Helix are "The Snake's Wife" (http://helixsf.com/archives/Oct07/fiction/Q2_leckie_snakeswife.htm) and "The God of Au." (http://helixsf.com/archives/Apr08/fiction/Q4_leckie_godofau.htm)
