Please pardon this interruption of your regular short story feed.
I just wanted to give a final update before the end of the year, about new items in the store, a new year of short stories, and a new season of the podcast.
I recently released 14 new designs in the Storyfeather merch store. Here’s a slide show of the designs on the products. You can see more and purchase here: STORYFEATHER STORE

Year 10 of the short stories and Season 6 of the podcast are both under way.
This year’s theme is Fusion. Every month I’ll have some element—a base element, if you will—tying the stories together. But each week, I’ll throw a fusion element into the old Fiction Fusion Reactor just to mix things up. December’s base element is “magic,” and the name of the month, is Abraca-Decem-bra!
Season 6’s theme is Definitions. Each story is inspired by an intriguing word, which sometimes finds its way into the title or a character name, or sometimes just invisibly shapes the story from behind the scenes.
There are three issues of the Storyfeather Gazette out now. It’s a monthly recap of stories, podcast episodes, trailers, and news. I’ve been putting links to the issues in the sidebar. But here’s a link to the latest issue as of this writing: SF Gazette November 2022

I hope you’re having a safe, fun, and restful holiday season. Thanks for reading this update. I’ll see you in the next story.
