LS July Issue 2024 copySummertime ๐Ÿ–๏ธ is perfect for escaping into a new story podcast!ย  So delighted to be featured in the July Issue of Lightspeed Magazine, narrating three different story podcasts:ย  one fantasy and two science fiction tales.ย  Huge thanks to Stefan Rudnicki, Skyboat Media and Lightspeed Magazine for sending these beautiful gems my way.ย ย 

For a flash fiction story about magic, melody and love caught in the cycles of time, check out Songs of the Sorrow of Thorns by Amayah Perveen.ย  It’s hauntingly beautiful.ย ย 

If you’re in the mood for something lighter, don’t miss The Only Writing Advice You’ll Ever Need to Survive Eldritch Horrors by Aimee Picchi, out today!ย  This story was a blast to record.ย  Our heroine secretly fights crime (Eldritch Horrors!) at night under the guise of being an accountant.ย  ย When her boyfriend breaks up with her over her suspicious 3am “accounting emergencies,” she puts pen to paper and writes him a letter.ย 

Lastly, if you love heist stories, ย The Heist for the Soul of Humanity by Filip Hajdar Drnovลกek Zorko may be just what you’re looking for.ย  Out in the solar system, Josephine Foster and her team of female thieves plot to steal Orion’s Sabre, but the real prize is much more valuable.ย  Releases on Lightspeed July 18.

Grab your beach gear, headphones, or tablet and head to LightspeedMagazine.com to listen to or read these stories for free.

Buckle up … we’re going to Lightspeed! ๐Ÿš€
