Tom’s Meowsings
Right meow, let’s talk about something paw-some. Somebody has been very busy with paperwork again, and for once it wasn’t me shredding it.
Three volumes of A Procession of Faeries series — Water Faeries, The Wild Hunt, and Stolen by the Fae — are officially part of the 2026 Fantasy Bundle of Bundles, put together by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. And this isn’t just any bundle. Every single collection in it is a StoryBundle exclusive, which in cat terms means: it’s meow or never. You will not find this anywhere else, so don’t bother scratching at other doors.
Purr-sonal bragging rights: Thea has stories in all three volumes. Triple the trouble, still only one cat supervising all of it. (M would like it noted that as Deputy Office Cat, Self-Appointed, “supervising” is technically her department — Tom mostly just naps on the good chairs and takes the credit.)
(Tom here. I was not napping. My eyes are open. I was resting after overseeing a particularly intense editing session.)
What’s actually in this thing?
- Water Faeries — “Coming into the Iron Age”: a muse hides in a pine tree while Christian rioters burn her temple to the ground, then flees into exile with a satyr as the old gods fade from a world that no longer has room for them.
- The Wild Hunt — “My Last Hunt”: a hound running with the Fae’s own hunting pack feels the binding spell that made her forget she was ever human start to fade — and the memories coming back aren’t the kind she wants.
- Stolen by the Fae — “Two Pies in One Pan”: a woman desperate for a child strikes a bargain with the goddess Brigid on Beltane night — and only to realize what she really received once the price comes due.
Forty-seven books. Fifteen authors, many of whom also have their own full collections tucked elsewhere in this same bundle. Fab-fur-lous, if you ask me — and you didn’t, but I’m telling you anyway. Every one of them exclusive to this StoryBundle for a limited time. So fur, so good, but it won’t last furever.
M’s addition, because she insisted:
“Tom’s being modest about the scale of this. Fifteen outstanding authors trusted their work to this bundle, and not just one book each. That’s a lot of good books to promote, and I intend to supervise all of it purr-sonally. You’ve got to be kitten me if you think I’m leaving this to my brother alone.”

Tom the Office Cat runs quality control on all manuscripts, mostly by sitting on them. M, Deputy Office Cat (Self-Appointed), would like it noted that she found this bundle first. Think paws-itive — go grab it.
