The 2024 Year of Wonder Map

I’m taking a break from my usual Editorial about something fiction related to share the crazy schedule I’m hoping to release in 2024 that isn’t 100 Word Stories. This will be my first year attempting to write longer stories alongside my daily routine of shorter ones. It has been your support that has given me the courage to even attempt such a daunting task. I hope I don’t let you down and that I satisfy your hunger for more stories.

Everything below will happen in the world of Wondermere in the calendar year of 2024. So, sit back, relax, and prepare for a year of wonder.

[P] = Paid Subscribers | [F] = Free-for-All

THE SERIAL SEASON

This story is going to be told in three parts. Each part will contain about 14 episodes. Each episode will be under 3k words and sent via email to PAID SUBSCRIBERS ONLY at 10am EST every Monday. Here is the schedule:

PART I – January to April

The Set-Up | Get the lay of the land. Meet the “suspects” and most importantly, the victim.

PART II – May to July

The Tale | Now that we know who everyone is, it’s time to really tell the story and see where that leads us.

PART III – August to November

The Shut-Out | Will we solve the mystery or the murder? Will Charisma follow through with her dreams? Or will we all be left with more questions than when we started out?


OTHER STORIES IN WONDERMERE

The serial isn’t the only stories available to read in and around the city of Wondermere. There will be Flash Fiction [F] and Short Stories [P] to read as well.

APRIL

April 8th | A History #3 The Pomroy Women [F]

April 15th | Flash Fiction #1 King Malfus II & The Last Deck [P]

JULY

July 29th | A History #4 TBA [F]

AUGUST

August 5th | Flash Fiction #2 Mrs. Pomroy and the Secondhand Wand [P]

NOVEMBER

November 18th | A History #5 TBA [F]

November 25th | Flash Fiction #3 [P]


I’ll be taking the rest of November and all of December to rest from what I hope will be a year of 100K+ words written just within Wondermere! If I were you, I’d enjoy the time because in 2025 there will be TWO Novellas coming alongside more Flash and Short Fiction.
