I love em-dashes, semicolons, and utilize Oxford commas. I also describe nature with influences of Tolkien. Yes the story might meander into side quests but…it’s worth it.

Here’s the opening of my cozy winter fantasy short story. @bookstadon

@bookstadon free on KU. It’s a winter cozy fantasy that takes place during an in-world holiday. Will they find something magical in the forest, or will something find them instead? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLKY9SLF?ref_=pe_3052080_276849420

My black comedy "Development Hell" is out today in Nature: Futures!

Bad news, everyone. Hell isn’t going to patch itself, so you have to work crunch. Again. In the office with the blood demons.

Just because I was his wife didn’t mean I didn’t want Jeff to get girly sometimes. I don’t think he ever realised I knew all about his little secret. And he certainly never suspected that I had created it.

I should explain. I only started seeing him because I liked his sister. That didn’t come to much, and Jeff never knew about that, either. In fact, as I think back to it, Jeff didn’t know much about anything.

I have completed with 26/30 stories. It was quite an experience. I allowed myself to go places that I normally wouldn't go, and there were places I should have gone sooner. There are several stories that are certainly getting polished up and submitted somewhere.

With thanks to @telinartho for getting me onboard.

List of titles with a brief description in the link below:

This one is likely to be published at Physician's Weekly in mid January 2024, or if you DM me an email Addy, I can send you the draft when it's been edited.

Most of my stories can be read for free and with no registration at https://www.physiciansweekly.com/category/doctors-voice/medical-fiction/

Some of the characters are real people making a cameo appearance

Ok tootlers, give me the name of my pharmacist in a , who is hard working, conscientious, and beleaguered, and finally ends up murdering my dude the endocrinologist.

If this is someone you know, don't tell me that, and if it is you, you are welcome to use a stage name or your real name and tell me a few facts about yourself to make the character feel like you.

Yesterday I got author copies of my most recent book, a collection of short stories titled Where Rivers Go To Die. They look lovely and the red tones make me want to change my favourite colour from blue to red. You can find yourself a copy of this book on online stores.

These are stories I've written over twenty years, since the earliest I first wrote circa 2003-4

@dilmandila @bookstodon My latest book was a sort of pinkish red and I'm currently applying a theme to my website to match!

My short story is live on Kindle Unlimited! I had so much fun writing this tale. We combined some of my favorite holiday things like a big performance with lights (courtesy of magic), a chorus singing, hot drinks, gift giving. And then fused it with a low stakes fantasy adventure and magical creatures. I hope you enjoy it! The Lady’s Crownbearer: A Cozy Winter Fantasy Adventure https://a.co/d/72ZHIwY @bookstadon
