Blake Charlton’s “Endosymbiont”

Writer Blake Charlton

A hot new fantasy and science fiction writer named Blake Charlton has a story on his website that he’s giving away for free. Yes, that magic word we all love to hear when buying ice cream and shopping for cars (though I haven’t managed to secure a free car yet, alas and dammit). It’s even better when the stuff you get for free is actually good, because let’s face it, a large percentage of the time the stuff that’s free is crap.

“Endosymbiont” isn’t crap. It’s a really cool short story about a teenage girl coping with cancer that evolves into much, much more.

You can read the story here in the format of your choice. If you like it, please pass the word! The economy has hammered writers and the publishing industry as hard as everything else, and positive word of mouth goes a long way toward helping writers succeed.
