A new short story involving Rhest (from Rhest for the Wicked) is live in the Serials & Stories section.  Or you can just check it out here.

Sex work comes up occasionally in my stories, not so much because I favor it but because it is heavily stigmatized and vilified when it shouldn’t be.  The real-world realities of sex workers and those involved in the sex professions is complicated (and often ugly), but the field itself and those who work within it do not deserve dismissal and derision.  They deserve support, respect, though sadly they most deserve help.

Sex work is work, with all the problems (and more) that go with any exploited and vilified field.
