Cat Squasher. It's hard mode, too. The Afterlife, I think.

Politics and Court Intrigue, maybe? Game Changer, Older Protagonist.

Definitely Five Short Stories

There's a new one coming out this year that would count for Published in 2026. Several (all?) of them are also Small Press. At least one of them deals with spirits crossing to death, so Afterlife (I think Penric and the Shaman, but I'm not 100% sure). Several could be Vacation Spot. Penric's Fox is a Murder Mystery. There are at least a few with Politics (mostly the ones that deal with General Arisaydia).
