Dear Reader…
Welcome back!
It’s been a very gray, rainy stretch here at Talebones HQ, but no spot of bad weather is going to keep The Weekly from your inboxes!
In this quick little digest I’ve got a round-up of the latest (including an exclusive new resource that I’m pretty thrilled about!) as well as our exciting FREE gift from the Archive for this week!
Let’s get started!
Weekly Round-Up!
In Case You Missed It…
January’s Short Fiction so far:
…a new one is percolating, so keep your eyes peeled!
For our Archive Members, a new exclusive resource! Check out the Ferris Island Timeline, with every tale thus far listed in chronological order!
FYI: This month has a fifth Monday in it, so TALESTACK NEWS will be taking a break next week and will resume on February 5th.
Freelance and Fishmaids, our 12-part episodic novella, is halfway done! Here’s how you can get started:
Check out the Table of Contents for the synopsis and episode list

All caught up? Read Episode Six: Wonderwall, if you haven’t already
The next episode drops this Friday, so stay tuned!
This Week’s FREE Gift!
This month, in honor of our recent subscriber milestone and the new year, I am unlocking the paywall each week to let out an archived tale!
Gotta catch ‘em quick, though, because after each week is up, they’re heading back into the Archive!
The Calendar:
THIS WEEK: Goldgreen (episodic serial) - the events that transpired around an ill-fated TV show in the 1960s
January 28 - February 3: Ivy & Ixos (serial novella) - the story of a ten-year-old girl, her estranged father, and a wild family secret
I hope you enjoy getting a glimpse into our Archive this month, and if you’re intrigued enough to become a paid member, I always appreciate the support!

Thank you for reading!
This may be a bit cheesy, but please allow me to have a bit of cheese:
January is always the most difficult month for me, every year. It’s gray and rainy and so, so very long. But I’ll tell you what: this is the warmest January on record, because I get the privilege of sharing my stories with the best readership on Substack. And I can’t tell you how much that means to me!
Have a lovely week, my friends!
Your grateful storyteller,
"But I’ll tell you what: this is the warmest January on record, because I get the privilege of sharing my stories with the best readership on Substack."
Awww. 🥰
Sally, I’m not able to see the free gifts. They still have the paywall on them.
