"White Charles" is live at Clarkesworld Magazine, as is "Non-Zero Probabilities" by N. K. Jemisin.
ETA: also, "White Charles" is Clarkesworld Magazine's podcast this month, read by Kate Baker and available right there on their front page, so you have your choice of medium.
Go! Read! Enjoy!
And tell me what you think, if you want to.

Please, please tell me all the various other Booth stories will eventually be collected!
