For everyone who remembers Yudah Cohen and Shaina Rubin from previous original fiction of mine: I am glad to report that they are back! PodCastle has just published my short story Gitl Schneiderman Learns To Live With Her In-Laws, in which Shaina Rubin goes to visit her cousins and encounters star-crossed lesbians, ghostly klezmer, and a wide range of mekhutonim. (The story is the third in a sequence, but should stand alone; both this one and the previous story are narrated in audio format by Barbara Krasnoff.)

I have spent several years trying to write more in this cycle without much success, so I am very grateful to a.) [personal profile] dramaturgca, who kicked half this story loose in my brain by giving me a music meme prompt that ended up translating to a variant on 'klezmer Tam Lin', and b.) [personal profile] reconditarmonia, my Yuletide recipient, who kicked the other half loose by prompting me to write about lesbian fiddlers. Also, and always, to [personal profile] aquamirage, whose beautiful Shaina Rubin fanart inspires me every day.

I hadn't run across these before and they are an absolute delight! Shaina's deadpan narration is wonderful, almost making me think of a Litvak Damon Runyan. (For reasons I'm also going to assume that she and I are distant relatives.) Lovely.

I am so excited by more of them because I love them! ...but I don't have the auditory processing to encounter new stories in pod format. Is there any chance of getting a written copy?

Yay! More!

I particularly loved the moment when R' Cohen for one second got serious about what it meant to be disowned by your family, and then immediately turned it into a joke again. Heartbreaking and brilliant.

Congrats on the story! I love Shaina Rubin's continuing adventures as Unimpressed Bystander to everyone else's supernatural AND romantic drama. Here's to more adventures, kid. >:D

You know, I read the first one a while ago and had it bookmarked, and I somehow had no idea it was yours! Finished the second two today and loved them. (And sent them to my partner, who also enjoyed the first one.)
