Jody Lynn Nye’s short story collections bring together her original fiction in two single-author volumes. While most of her short stories have appeared in multi-author anthologies over the years, these collections give readers a way to find her solo work gathered in one place.
A Circle of Celebrations: The Complete Edition was published in 2014 and collects stories tied to holidays and seasonal celebrations. The stories mix fantasy and science fiction elements with familiar real-world occasions, reflecting Nye’s well-known fondness for humor and warmth in her shorter fiction. Daring, published in 2018, takes a broader approach, gathering stories that span different subgenres and settings.
Together, these two books represent a small but focused sample of Nye’s output as a short story writer. Given the sheer number of anthologies she has contributed to over the past three decades, these collections offer a useful entry point for readers who want to explore her shorter work without tracking down dozens of separate volumes.
