#StoryHour2020

This week, Anneke Schwob makes their Story Hour debut! Fantastic author and friend of Story Hour Jennifer Hudak returns. This will be extremely awesome! Join us Wednesday at 7:00 PDT! https://www.storyhour2020.com/ #Bookstodon #StoryHour2020 #ShortStories #ShortFiction #AuthorReading #FantasyFiction #ScienceFiction #SFF #AnnekeSchwob #JenniferHudak @jenniferhudakwrites

Waist-up color photo of writer Anneke Schwob, a fair-skinned person with brown hair worn short with bangs peeking out from beneath a red beanie. They also wear wire-rimmed glasses, a green-brown-and-white plaid flannel worn open over a black crew-neck tee, three chunky silver necklaces extending from Anneke’s collarbone height to height of estimated mid-sternum, and multiple earlobe piercings. They stand in a field of dry, yellowing grasses, their elbows bent as if their hands are in the pockets of their offscreen trousers. They are turned slightly away from the camera, looking into the lens with serious, steady expression that may hold a slight smile.

Head-and-shoulders color photo of writer Jennifer Hudak, a fair-skinned woman with straight, gray-threaded brown hair worn at shoulder length and without bangs. She wears a brownish-red top with crochet sleeves and poses before a blurred interior background that includes tile wall and light wood. Her shoulders are square to the camera, but she looks up and to one side, smiling warmly.

This Story Hour brought us two beautifully written stories, one fantasy and one science fiction. Madeleine E. Robins read a clear-eyed tale of parenting an unusual child—and we don't want to spoil Kemi Ashing-Giwa's heartbreaking story for you, but it also addresses personhood and family (and more). You can still watch! #StoryHour2020 #ShortStories #fantasy #FantasyFiction #ScienceFiction #KemiAshing-Giwa #MadeleineERobins https://youtu.be/3LVR6QcmYrA

You know who we’ve missed at Story Hour? Madeleine E. Robins. And you know who we’ve been missing out on? Kemi Ashing-Giwa. But don’t despair—they’re both going to read SFF stories for us this week! Join us Wednesday at 7:00 PDT! #Bookstodon #StoryHour2020 #ShortStories #ShortFiction #AuthorReading #FantasyFiction #ScienceFiction #SFF #KemiAshing-Giwa #MadeleineERobins https://www.storyhour2020.com/

Black-and-white photo of Kemi Ashing-Giwa, a Black woman with a natural worn short on the sides and tall on the top. She wears a fine-gauge crew-neck sweater in a light tone and lip gloss. They sit on a chair or sofa with an upholstered back, in front of a light source (a curved window with panes, or perhaps a translucent tent?). She is turned with her face in three-quarters view as she looks attentively toward something or someone off-camera. Their eyes are focused, creased at the corners as part of their warm, broad smile.

This Story Hour was harrowing and thought-provoking! Eric Raglin read us a story of the present state of education, and RJ Joseph reminded us of the horrors of the past. Highly recommended! #StoryHour2020 #EricRaglin #RJJoseph #ShortStories #AuthorReading #Bookstodon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRDHxSWvJEY

Story Hour brought us a science fiction story with fantasy elements and a fantasy story with SF elements...or were they something else entirely? Randee Dawn and Brian Trent brought us action-oriented, thought-provoking tales. Watch and see what YOU think! #StoryHour2020 #ShortStories #ShortFiction #ScienceFiction #FantasyFiction #SFF #AuthorReading #AuthorReadings @Randee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nsYeK3M_pk

Color photo of writer Randee Dawn, a fair-skinned woman with large blue eyes and blonde hair worn long and curled, with bangs. She wears a sleeveless dress printed with vintage book covers and sits in front of a blurred background of leaves. She smiles tenderly at the camera, perhaps because she is holding a red fox on her lap. The fox is stretched out, eyes closed, looking like it’s enjoying neck scritches.

This Story Hour, the doughty

Waist-up color photo of author Christa Carmen, a thin, fair-skinned woman with dark hair and eyes. She wears her hair long and parted in the middle; it falls over one shoulder. She wears a black crewneck knit top, a patterned skirt, and a few pairs of small earrings. She stands among sunlit trees, her body facing the camera as she looks over one shoulder with a sharply focused but inscrutable expression.

Head-and-shoulders color photo of author Gregory Frost, a fair-skinned man with large brown eyes, white hair parted on the side, and a long, thin face. He wears a black blazer over a black crewneck shirt and sits in front of a wooden bookcase full of books. He looks straight into the camera with an intense expression.

Our first Story Hour on YouTube felt like a great housewarming party. Effie Seiberg read a sweet, funny story and Erin Roberts read a beautiful, heartbreaking one, and we couldn't be happier. You can still watch! #StoryHour2020 #ShortStories #ShortFiction #AuthorReading #AuthorReadings #SFF #ScienceFiction #EffieSeiberg #ErinRoberts @effies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8f850VwRDI&list=PLPUvtHiTtNkA3ryICMVg0YmJtDk6EySA5

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Sure, Story Hour moves to YouTube this week, but we still have awesome writers reading us their stories. Like Effie Seiberg, who’s read for us many times—and Erin Roberts, making her Story Hour debut! Join us Wednesday at 7:00 PDT! The things that matter will always be the same. @effies #StoryHour2020 #ShortStories #ShortFiction #AuthorReading #FantasyFiction #ScienceFiction #SFF #EffieSeiberg #ErinRoberts https://www.storyhour2020.com/

Head-and-shoulders color photo of writer Effie Seiberg, a fair-skinned woman with pink cheeks and curly black hair parted on one side and worn at shoulder length. She wears glasses with violet frames, large dangly earrings, and a light blue collarless knit shirt. She sits in what looks like an office chair with a black leather back in front of what might be a glass window in geometric shapes. She smiles broadly at the camera.

Head-and-shoulders color photo studio portrait of writer Erin Roberts, a Black woman with brown skin and black braids worn in a high ponytail that cascades to one side of her face. She wears cat-eye glasses with red frames, slender dangly earrings, and a brown-and-blue print dress or blouse in a simple repeating floral pattern. She stands before an olive-green background and holds a pen to an open notebook, looking directly into the camera and smiling warmly.

This week's Story Hour was refreshing! @soniafocke read us an enchanting undersea journey, and @curtiscchen read us a WIP that had us rolling in the metaphorical aisles and cracking wise in the literal chat. Two wonderful performances—and you can still watch, on either Facebook or YouTube! #StoryHour2020 #ShortStories #ShortFiction #SFF #fantasy #ScienceFiction #humor #AuthorReading #SoniaFocke #CurtisCChen https://www.facebook.com/100039975042631/videos/997167075702302 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du6g6VxBWUc

Head-and-shoulders color photo of Curtis C. Chen, a man of East Asian descent. He has medium-dark warm-toned skin and wears his long black hair brushed back, showing power alleys. He wears rectangular wire-rimmed glasses and a light blue button-up over a dark T-shirt and. He poses in a three-quarters view against a light, neutral background. He regards the camera with a mischievous smile, like something’s cracking him up. Photo credit: Folly Blaine

Head-and shoulders color photo of Sonia Focke, a fair-skinned woman with dark eyes and long, dark hair worn swept back. She wears a ruffled dark blue vest over a white blouse with a high, pleated collar and a bow; long, dangling white earrings; and light makeup with a dark pink lipstick. She poses against a dark background, one arm raised as if resting on something, and looks into the camera in a three-quarters view. Chin lifted, she gives us a small and knowing smile.

What a gorgeous night of stories this was! Lyndsie Manusos and J.A.W. McCarthy took us down a dark river from fury to melancholy. So lovely, so poignant.

Story Hour celebrated Women in Horror Month with chilling (seriously, I kept having to pull my hoodie up) stories from L.E. Daniels and Pamela Jeffs. Beautifully written, beautifully read, and brrrrr. Guest host
@RebeccaGomezFarrell was delightful and charming and I think redecorated her video space for the occasion? So truly, don't miss this one! You can still watch! #StoryHour2020 #ShortStories #AuthorReading #ShortFiction #LEDaniels #PamelaJeffs #RebeccaGomezFarrell https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=watch_permalink&v=1188124976352046

Blurry selfie of author L.E. Daniels, a fair-skinned woman with red-gold hair worn at shoulder length. She wears round glasses, a large pendant on a gold chain, and a black T-shirt that says "Eat the rude" in script. She smiles as if she has a secret, and her arms reach to the camera, as if they are holding it...or maybe she's coming out of your screen. Hard to be sure.

Head-and-shoulders color photo of Pamela Jeffs, a fair-skinned woman with dark hair swept back and well-tamed; her hair might be very short or might be in a bun at the back. She wears gold hoop earrings, perfect office makeup, and a blue blouse that’s gathered to a neckline just above the collarbones She stands before a blurred green-and-white background and smiles serenely at the camera.

Color photo of Rebecca Gomez Farrell, a woman with brown eyes and light auburn hair. She wears a necklace with a flower pendant and a shirt of Mexican woven fabric. She stands in a sunbeam and against a tan background. She smiles warmly at the camera.

This Story Hour left us breathless! Daria Lavelle and Tobi Ogundiran read us strange, gorgeous fairy tales and myths. You can still watch!

Head-and-shoulders color photo of Daria Lavelle, a fair-skinned woman with dark eyes and long, ash-blonde hair. She wears a black lace top with a high collar and a pink tulle skirt. She stands outside, near a stone wall. With her face in three-quarter view, she looks directly into the camera and beams sunnily.

Head-and-shoulders color photo of Tobi Ogundiran, a Black man with short, black hair and a matching short, full beard and mustache. He wears a black button-up, a bracelet of white beads, a watch with a metal band, and metal-rimmed aviator sunglasses that are taking on enough sun that you can see his dark eyes through them. Trees are visible in the distance. He rests both elbows on a green picnic table in front of him and sits with his fingers laced together. He looks directly into the camera with serious eyes and a tiny smile.

This Story Hour brimmed with strange transformations! Shelley Lavigne and
Douglas Gwilym
led us through strange tales with resonant themes. You can still watch! #StoryHour2020 #ShortStories #ShortFiction #AuthorReading #ShelleyLavigne #DouglasGwilym https://www.facebook.com/100039975042631/videos/1375141110567315

Head-and-shoulders color photo of author Douglas Gwilym, a fair-skinned man with graying dark hair, mustache, and neatly trimmed chin beard. He is centered, his shoulders squared to the camera, in front of what appears to be gray unfinished wood with a knot in it. He wears blue plaid shirt over a brown tee and looks just to the right of the camera, smiling bemusedly.

Head-and-shoulders color photo of author Shelley Lavigne, a fair-skinned person with red-brown hair worn in a one-length bob at chin length. They are wearing a white shirt and large sunglasses with gold lenses. They appear to be sitting by a pool and a bronze statue. They look up from a smartphone, over their shoulder, into the camera, screaming ferociously.
