Narration: Leapling by Nicole Feldringer @CastofWonders

Today Cast of Wonders published Episode 199: Leapling by Nicole Feldringer, narrated by yours truly. "Leapling" is about a teen who confronts her wayward brother as part of her destiny foretold to her by her grandmother.  

Cast of Wonders is a pro-paying YA market that I've narrated for before. They are part of the Escape Artists podcasts, along with Escape Pod and Podcastle. You can comment about the story here on the Escape Artists forum.


Enjoy!

Review: #Ephemeral by Miguel Lupian

Ephemeral by Miguel Lupian, translated by Joseph Hutchison, is a collection of inspiringly bizarre flash fiction headed by "Blind Man's First Diary Entry." Each reality-bending piece is a poetically poignant mix of the senses.

I love how the original Spanish version is placed opposite the translation, giving this collection added depth for bilingual readers and Spanish language enthusiasts.

You can purchase Ephemeral from [ Folded Word ] or from [ Amazon ] in paperback.

Review: #LAnguille by Jon Trobaugh

L'Anguille by Jon Trobaugh is a chapbook of three disturbing stories centering around children in desperate, real-world situations. Often, the adults are failing these children -- dysfunctional isn't a strong enough word. Each story grabs the reader's attention with a strong opening line, and doesn't let go until the less-than-happy ending.

You can purchase L'Anguille from [ Folded Word ] or from [ Amazon ] in paperback or in ebook format.

Review: Lepidopterist by Kendra Fortmeyer

Hop on over to Hobart Pulp to read "Lepidopterist" by Kendra Fortmeyer. "Lepidopterist" is a flash piece that brings the reader into the twisted mind of a killer.

You can also check out Fortmeyer's chapbook here and my review for it here. Enjoy!

Since Premeditations came out, so many people have come to me and told me that they were interested in my work but missed several of the announcements on social media.

With facebook algorithms especially, sometimes social media doesn't cut it, not when you want to be the first to know and take advantage of time-sensitive things like preorder discounts. I also have a few appearances I'm scheduling right now and I would hate to have fans miss them because of these issues.

All this to say that I now have an author mailing list! I will never send you spam, but only one-time announcements when a book or story is published, when it becomes available in another format, or when an appearance is coming up.

Thank you for all your feedback!

I really appreciate my followers on social media and on this blog, too. You will continue to see reviews in those places that you won't see on the author mailing list. On facebook and twitter you'll no doubt see our homeschooling antics as well. Carry on!
