Double the fun!
Hello, Readers All,
So one tiny moment to crow in triumph: I’ve doubled my number of paid subscribers. There are now two of you! 86 consecutive weeks of new work is paying off, baby.

And in keeping with the seasonal vibe, here’s one of my favorite short stories.

AleXander’s contribution this week is evocative and sharply imagined poetry with some powerful new collage art:
