Around this time last year, I wrote:

Well, here we are again, and to be honest, I still feel pretty much the same way. But some period of time must have passed, because there are more stories on this site than there were last year.
Because of *gestures wildly* you know…all that…we only released one work of full-length fiction in 2022, but it was a good one: Kit Campbell’s haunted-boarding-school novella Hallowed Hill, featuring a mansion in the woods, a teenaged orphan looking for a fresh start, unsettling graffiti, archrivals, and more.
We also posted lots of free fiction and the occasional poem, including new installments of:
- Deep and Blue (ocean-based SF) by Kit Campbell
- Coat of Scarlet (steampunk) by Siri Paulson (me!)
- Curiosity Killed the Cat (secondary-world fantasy) by KD Sarge
- Second Chance (ghost story) by Erin Zarro
…and more!
We’ve reluctantly cut back on the number of free stories in order to focus our limited energies on other things, but we’re still blogging for your entertainment every week right here at TDP.
Looking ahead, we’ll be releasing a cli-fi novelette by me in the spring, and we’re working on other projects in the background that will be revealed in due time. Stay tuned!
Thanks!
