Wow! A great day for Hearth Stories alumni! Congrats @aliciaadamswriting.bsky.social This looks like a great anthology and a wonderful story!
My 7500-word story "An Exponentially Branching Tree" came out yesterday in the Way of Worlds anthology! It's available for purchase in paperback or ebook.

An epic game of go determines who lays claim to a newly discovered planet.

We have added PDF to the formats we provide through the website. All back-issues now have PDF as an available option. Not sure the level of interest, but hopefully it covers a few folks that would prefer it.

I needed a dose of spring today, and I just love the work of Richard Jefferies. #richardjefferies

All three issues of Hearth Stories are now available (still for $0) through Smashwords and Kobo. Barnes and Noble, Apple Books, and Overdrive should be carrying it in the coming days. If you use a kobo, you will still get better formatting with the kepub from our site, though.

Well, here we are on blusky. More of a mastodon sort ourselves, but felt it might be good for our authors to be here too. We have a new ebook issue available for free download if you like cozy fantasy short fiction: hearthstories.org/issues/3.html
