Marie Brennan: From the Editorial Page of the Falchester Weekly Review (EBook, 2016, Tor Books)

Published May 17, 2016 by Tor Books.
After risking the neck of her loved ones and herself during her perilous sea voyage aboard The Basilisk, and the discoveries made at Keonga, Isabella, Lady Trent, returns to Scirland with the aim of publishing her research. And yet, given the level of secret knowledge she now posses, she is reduced to waiting to reveal her new academic discovery until royal decrees can be lifted and a fraught political situation avoided. In her idle frustration, Isabella vents her spleen upon the shoddy research published by lesser men with swollen heads in local journals. Enjoy the following collection of letters, found in a trunk of mislaid scholarly documents left behind when she removed to Linshire for the season.
A short fun piece, set after Brennan's "Voyage of the Basilisk" where Isabella doubts that a discovery by another person of an unusual dragon specimen is what the person says it is. This is played out on the correspondents page of the newspaper and ends with what happens when she finally gets to see it.
