I confess I don't listen to many podcasts, but when I do THIS is my go-to.

Over at the Spoonie Authors Network, I interview the wonderful Bernadette Gabay Dyer about her incredible short fiction collection, Segovia Stories!
It’s so important these days that we boost the works of small-press authors. Please consider checking out Bernadette’s books and share this post!
In the run up to opening for submissions in October I thought I'd share some of the stories that helped to inspire the zine.
First up is "Away With the Wolves" by Sarah Gailey in @UncannyMagazine

I just finished a new story called “Strange Attractor at the End of Time”! Coming in at 3,800 words (roughly 16 pages), it'll be just perfect for the upcoming Neutral Milk Hotel -inspired anthology from Hungry Shadow Press! Unfortunately, submissions don't open until December, so I'll have to sit on this a while. (Let me know if you want to beta-read in the meantime.) This one is inspired by the NMH song “I Will Bury You in Time,” and I’m quite pleased with it.

A year after David Quinn won the biggest lottery prize in history someone asked him why he had invested nearly all of it into research on time travel.
David said, "Because I didn't buy the ticket. It was under my door when I came home the day after the drawing."

Women ravaged by war hold no allegiances to men.
The kerchief-capped group fell to their knees at gunpoint, but none begged for mercy. Dogs strained against their ropes, their vicious chorus fading when the women laced their fingers behind their heads.
Filmed some seventy years ago, the colorless scene playing on the wall felt like a sadist’s idea of posterity. https://bit.ly/3s8THRt

"Light filled the sky and a shimmering rose from the earth. Katya blinked, trying to clear away the dazzle. The ground hummed beneath her feet.
And the singing began..."
