Periodically, I feature one of my backlist titles you might have missed. Today: Spells & Stardust:

This is a fantastic collection of eight of the author's short stories, all in one book. I had previously read several of the stories separately, and I can't choose a favorite because I loved them all. All the stories have some fantasy, or unusual relationship or a sudden twist that you didn't see coming. -Mary, Amazon

This week, we have a double debut! You—yes, you!—can be among the first to see Frank Oreto and Ayida Shonibar read on Story Hour! Make history with us this Wednesday at 7:00 PDT! #Bookstodon #StoryHour2020 #ShortStories #ShortFiction #AuthorReading #Horror #HorrorFiction #AyidaShonibar #FrankOreto @ayidashonibar https://www.storyhour2020.com/

Head-and-shoulders color photo of writer Frank Oreto, a man with a trimmed, graying beard and mustache. He wears a dark gray fleece vest over a gray tee, accessorized with glasses on a chain and a small-brimmed straw hat accentuated with a black band and a magenta orchid. He sits in what looks to be a restaurant booth and wields chopsticks with an eager expression.

Head-and-shoulders color photo of writer Ayida Shonibar, a woman with long black hair pulled back from her face and spilling over one shoulder. They wear a sleeveless black sweater; two small gold hoop earrings adorn her visible earlobe. She stands on what appears to be a park walkway, tree-filled wilderness behind her. With their face in three-quarters view, she looks directly into the camera with large brown eyes and a Mona Lisa smile.

"The kids leaped back in anticipation and the firework blasted away, careening through the sky like a dragon with lop-sided wings. A whistle, a pop, and a curlicue later, it crashed into a painted, wooden sign that read:

R. Franklin Cunningham’s Magic Singing Frogs..."
