One year ago yesterday, we posted an open submission call on the Clarion West Discord server. A year ago today @teffeau.bsky.social submitted her manuscript to us. And on 3/3/26 we published Accelerated Growth Environment.
Jorna’s story reminds me that our pasts do not define our futures.

The reclusive trustee of an old Victorian residence hires the son of a hedge witch for a singular task: to make the estate's roses bloom, for the first time in decades. As Louis and Ethan grow closer, they become increasingly desperate to break the garden's bloodthirsty curse... but the garden isn't letting them go without a fight.

“A lushly written novella full of intriguing magic and love of all kinds.” —E. H. Lupton, author of the Wisconsin Gothic series. They say the stolen rose blooms best. When Ethan Keating Mendoza is hired as a gardener at an old Victorian residence in central Indiana, he has one clear mission: make the roses bloom. Ethan's life is roses--he's the son of a hedge witch and a partner in his father's rose growing business--but he has no magic himself. The Kilbride estate is wild and overgrown. The roses have not bloomed in decades, and Ethan fears he may be in over his head. Worse still is Louis, the peculiar trustee of the property, who lives under a bloodthirsty curse that ties him to the garden. But Louis gives Ethan a chance, and Ethan is determined to do right by the suffering roses. As Ethan and Louis grow closer, Ethan becomes increasingly desperate to save the man he loves from the garden's curse. But the garden isn't letting them go without a fight.
