It's been a busy month for us here at AoM, but rest assured we haven't forgotten about you!
Both of our writers have been busy pursuing personal projects, and much of their writing for the website has had to be put on hold while they work on other projects.
This means that for this month, we will have no new featured short story. We hope to have something for you next month on that front.
In the meantime, we DID go ahead and post the next chapter of the serial novel this morning. We hope you enjoy Widening Gyre Chapter 2: Alex in the Land of Lost Toys!
Have a great month!
