I recently wrote a short story set in the same world as Honeycomb Heart that takes place generations before the novel. Surely bringing all the world’s witches and magical women within the borders of a single country would cause some issues, yes?
"The First Familiar" is currently part of a free bundle of short stories on itch.io. Until morning of Sept 23rd, you can sample work by myself and 19 other authors. Quite a few of them are also Book Bazaar 2025 participants! The story will still be available once the bundle ends (it'll be linked directly in the image below), but this is a great opportunity to pick up some quick reads from a variety of writers for free. You can find the bundle here.
Thanks for your interest in the project so far. I'm excited to introduce you all to Vivian, Frieda, and their familiars in November! Hope you're all enjoying the transition into autumn right now (or spring, depending on where you are in the world).
