Somewhat disjointed owing to the fact that I'm knee deep in the Blood of the Mantis (or at least its edits) at the moment, but nonetheless. This month is nominally National Bee-kinden month, and I have some more art from the talented David Mumford here.  However, as a very special treat, the story this month is the first from a guest writer, in particular Keris McDonald, who has a particular treat in store with The Scent of Tears. Find the story here.
