Genre Agnostic Fiction
2021 turned out to be the year I hit not one major goal, but two, with a little bit extra! I not only published a short story a week for 52 total, but I ended up writing 53 short stories. All that with twelve major publications and over half a million words written.
Read on for more about my Year of 52 Short Stories, and Happy 2022!
Welcome to the last day of 2021, and get ready for a trip back to the final hours of the last millennium!
I’m delighted to share my contribution to this year’s Holiday Spectacular from WMG Publishing with Sometimes Strange Magic Casts the Best Spell. You may remember the setting from The Magic Cat of the Hidden Springs Inn and Spa and The Inn, the Black Cat, and Two Halves of the Same Heart, both featured in past Holiday Spectaculars.
This time we visit 1999, which those of us who’ve been around long enough to remember it know was a very strange time indeed. Especially those of us who worked in the IT field.
You can read Sometimes Strange Magic Casts the Best Spell free on this site until January 3rd, with my warm wishes for a Happy New Year in 2022!
And my deepest, most sincere hope that we all experience a whole lot less strange over the next twelve months and into the future.
I hope this finds you well and enjoying the December holidays, no matter how you celebrate them (or not). If reading is on your list for this strange in-between week, or if you have a reader in your life, there’s still time to pick up the wonderful Holiday Collections StoryBundle!
You’ll get seventy-two (yep, 72) holiday-themed short stories by a group of amazing writers. And both the excellent Annie Reed and I are offering bonus collections of holiday shorts, so you can get even more escapes for the incredible low price of $15. My collection is actually an anthology my husband Jason A. Adams and I put together called Uncommon Holidays: A Different Side of the Season.
And even though the major gift-giving days has passed for many people, this is a great chance to make the readers in your life happy. You can also donate to AbleGamers, a charity dedicated to creating connection where it’s needed most, at a time when so many people need it.
But this amazing StoryBundle ends one day before December and 2021 do, so check it out before time runs out!
My new holiday collection A Tapestry of Holiday Tales: Winter Adventures from the Odds and Endings Bookstore is part of the Holiday Collections StoryBundle! And if you love short stories as much as I do, you are absolutely in for a treat. If you want to get a sneak peak, Odds and Endings, the first story in that series and setting is available free as part of The Infinite Bard.
This StoryBundle features eleven collections, for a total of seventy-two (72!) holiday-themed short stories from some of the best short fiction writers working today for only $15. That’s enough for an epic few days of vacation reading, enjoying a few each day from now until the dawn of 2022, or simply turning to when you need a hit of holiday magic any time of year.
First things first: the wonderful Getting Justice StoryBundle is in its final days! So don’t let your chance to grab ten excellent ebooks for a great price get away. You’ll find a remarkable number of approaches to justice, what it means, and how to get it from some of the best writers working today.
Go grab yours before time runs out! Then read on for more about my included novel Independent by Means of Magic, and the ways I approached orienting myself in the fascinating Victorian Era in London, with a fantasy twist.
Happy Wednesday, all, and welcome to The Infinite Bard! I’m delighted to return to the magical stage with a new free tale to share with all of you. Settle in and get comfortable, and I hope you enjoy Odds and Endings, the first of my stories from the peculiar Appalachian Mountain town of Lightning Gap, Virginia.
Be sure to check out my Infinite Bard page for a bunch of other fantastic free reads, including my first two turns on the mystical stage. And don’t forget a new tale will appear on the main page at www.TheInfiniteBard.com every other Wednesday.
Happy reading!
