Other Jokka Stories


The original Jokka shorts were published in Strange Horizons and are still available online:

The first, "Money for Sorrow, Made Joy", concerns Ekanoi, a neuter traveling on a caravan.

The second, "Freedom, Spiced and Drunk" , concerns Kediil, the first traveling healer, a rogue female. This story made the Tiptree Award's Secondary List and was recommended for a Nebula.

A third story, "Unspeakable," was Strange Horizons's feature story for November, 2002. It won a Reader's Choice Award for 2002, and was a finalist in the short story category for the 2003 Spectrum Awards. "Unspeakable" was also chosen for inclusion in the Best of Strange Horizons 2003 anthology. This story is about a naughty story-teller and the male who is compelled by those stories.
