New light novel reward: Substitute Familiar Stories

Hey hi folks! So after Penelope And The Council I figured, well gee this short story is almost as big as a book, I guess I should collect both it and A Drink To Amanda into their own print version... but unfortunately the page count was over the limit for a typical saddle stitch (with the staple). But if I added some more pages, I could get it big enough to have its own spine with perfect binding... and I did have all this microfiction lying around...

So long story short, meet Subfami 1.5! It contains both Substitute Familiar short stories as well as 23 OTHER STORIES all set before, during, and after Substitute Familiar #1! If you liked my first book about witches and familiars but wanted more of that, this light novel is for you!

And everyone at the ZandraVandra Book Club level or higher gets access to it right now! (If your pledge is below this level, you can raise it and get access to it immediately!)

To claim your copy, follow this link and associate your Patreon account with your itch.io account (you may have to create the latter if you don't already have one). Once that's done, you'll be able to download the short story!

As usual, the PDF version is up, with an epub version coming soon after (since it requires me to do some acrobatics with the indesign file). Everyone who has the book can get either or both of these files!

Here's the blurb to bring you up to speed:

A story about visiting your sister's new store right before going off on a journey that promises to change your life. Did I mention your sister's a witch?

The council of witches doesn't often get involved. But considering what a certain alchemist has done, it might be time for magical justice to be administered.

...and 23 other stories about witches, familiars, and everyone in-between.

Hey hi hello! You’re about to read a collection of short stories that act as a sequel-prequel-companion to the Substitute Familiar light novel series. Specifically, the first book! You don’t need to have read it to enjoy A Drink To Amanda, Penelope And The Council, or the 23 other stories in this light novel, but it’ll make the experience much better (and save you from a bunch of spoilers). I recommend catching up on SubFami #1 before reading any further! (That said, you’re the boss!)

Please enjoy, and let’s keep making wonderful things together.

This is a light novel of 97 pages with 3 color cover images & 18 interior black & white illustrations.

Thank you again so much for your support!! I always felt I ought to do something with these short stories I've been spending so much time on and the answer turned out to be make an actual book out of them. I'm so exhausted and so relieved and so so grateful to have you all in my life. I hope you'll find something you like in these stories!💙
