Sale!! My story, “For the Love of Joey Dunlop”, a non-genre piece, has been accepted by The Blend – International Literature. The story takes place on the Isle of Man, a place that is magical for reasons mythical, but mostly for reasons mechanical. I’m delighted, because I truly believe that this is one of the best stories I’ve ever written.

I was looking for a place to sub a story and stumbled on an On the Premises contest offering prize money for the best two or three 50 word or less stories. I stopped and threw a couple of sentences together, trimmed it down to 50 words and looked at it. Not bad, so I sent it in and forgot about it. Turns out that little tale ended up second.

Have a look.

Contract signed, so I can now tell everyone that my story Virtuoso has sold to The Centropic Oracle. I’ll let everyone know when it’s available!

A nice – and very complete – review of The Worlds of SF, F and H in case you were wondering what this one is all about. And some insightful comments about the differences in editorial styles between the US and other parts. Link here.

Sale! My story “Headcount Freeze” has sold to the Apotheosis 2 antho, which means I’m playing in the Cthulhu Mythos again. I was also in the first volume, so if you’re curious, I’ve linked to that one here.

 

The First Contact anthology, edited by Ryan C. Booth and Jorge Salgado-Reyes, which includes my story “Evasion” has been launched. This one looks like a solid collection of alien stories, which is always enjoyable. Purchase link here.

I’ve always thought Incursion is a great book, but it sometimes gets forgotten what with all the launches over the past couple of years. Those who’ve read it liked it because it’s fast-paced and unpredictable. But don’t take my word for it: there’s an excerpt available to read for free on Altered Reality Magazine.

Purchase link here (in case the excerpt inspires anyone to buy this one!).

 

Cover reveal for the Lost and Found antho, edited by Terri Karsten, which will contain my story “Stepping Away”.  This one will be available on May 14th.

Write Ahead / The Future Looms has purchased the second installment of my three-part story for publication in their next colorful issue. Though linked, each story stands alone, and this one is entitled “Dance of Doors and Boxes”. So glad they liked it! I’ll let everyone know when it becomes available.

Revisiting the Undead is now available for pre-order! This one has one of my stories in it, and looks quite creepy. Can’t wait to see what everyone else has contributed.
