I hope everyone is enjoying their Decembering. It’s been a wild month here in the Shelbyverse, what with school Christmas concerts and the usual holiday scramble. Of course, when it rains, it pours and in keeping with that I had two stories come out this past week. The first was my space witch story The Feline, the Witch, and the Universe in the December issue (#135) of Space & Time. In an extra thrill, my name is on the cover! I love magazines and anthologies that do that for writers. They know.

The issue is available here with a small paywall to purchase the issue of this excellent, (and long-lived!) speculative magazine.

Another one of my stories, Dragon Crossing, came out in All Worlds Wayfarer literary magazine, which you can read online for free by clicking here. This story is very special to me and I’d love it if you read Dragon Crossing. In fact, my birthday is this weekend and the reading of a writer’s story makes a wonderful birthday gift (wink).

That’s all for now, I’ll be back on Sunday with a new Submit Your Stories Sunday post and in the meantime I hope you find a way to close out this tattered old decade with a smile.
