SP author Kari Kilgore returns to the Infinite Bard with a great free story, and the introduction to one of her wonderful short story series. Enjoy your trip to Odds and Endings!
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.
We’re tickled silly to see Kari Kilgore in another wonderful StoryBundle, this one stuffed full of cats! You can’t get Kari’s collection, A Kaleidoscope of Cat Tales, anywhere else. But don’t wait too long, before this fabulous bunch of feline tales disappears!
We’ll let Kari tell you more. Meanwhile, head on over to StoryBundle to check it out!
We’re tickled to announce SP authors Jason A. Adams and Kari Kilgore both have stories in the new shared world series Cave Creek! Jason has two in Bitter Mountain Moonlight, and Kari has one in Open Ended Threat.
Kari dug into her nerdy fascination with flowers and pollinators for “An Impossible Desert Flower,” with a heavy dose of a lifelong love of all things Twilight Zone shared by everyone at Spiral Publishing.
For Jason’s two stories, “Writing the Past” and “Two Si’s for Sister Sally,” he called on his own memories of a landscape both beautiful and hellish, where life outdoors could kill a person. Or give them great opportunity. Both involve finding hope in the future.
Check out all four volumes of the Cave Creek series for wonderful stories for a bunch of our favorite authors!
