I ACCIDENTALLY WROTE A BUNCH OF PSEUDO FAIRY TALES:  Odd Magics: Tales for the Lost.  #CommissionEarned

And the collection is on pre-order.

“Accidentally?” you say.  “How in heck does one accidentally write pseudo-fairy tales?”

Well, I certainly didn’t do it on purpose. I mean, modern-day-fairy-tales is the domain of the uber woke and silly. And I’m often silly but not woke.

Okay, how it happened was like this. I had this space suit.  No, wait, that’s the beginning of Heinlein’s Have Spacesuit Will Travel.

So, how it actually happened was like this: I’m a massive depressive, and was having serious health issues. I wanted to keep my blog at least semi-regularly updated. But some days the last thing I wanted to think about was reality.  So it started with The Rain of Frog, a story in which a woman sees a single gigantic frog dropping in front of her house…  And then it continued through a middle aged woman deciding to give her husband his seal skin back.  And– well.
My blog readers have asked for years that I release them as a collection, but things got in the way and I wondered if it was really worth it.  Then I re-read them.  They’re goofy, maybe a little pat, but holy heck, they’re uplifting.
So, I made time.  I haven’t pushed the button on print release, because I can’t figure out how to schedule it, but it’s ready to go.
