My story “The Pride of Tau Ceti” has been published in Alien Dimensions 18. I love that cover…

I’m going to be somewhere awesome this week: the International Space Development Conference in Washington DC. You might recall that my story “Acid Test” finished second in the Jim Baen Memorial Contest earlier this year…

Thanks to that, I’m a guest of Baen at the conference. It’s a solid four days of talk about space exploration by the most knowledgeable people in the business. Also, I’ll get to meet the other prizewinners. How cool is that?

Sale! A bit late reporting this one, but my story “Thin Air” has been accepted to the Cosmic Crime antho, which means I’ll have a couple of stories there. Really happy about that!

My story “Glass Island” is today’s tale at Every Day Fiction. Go have a look – it’s a five-minute read. Link here.

The cover of The Blend International, Issue #1 has been revealed. I have a story in this one, so proud to share it with everyone.

If you’d like to read a free story, here’s one with w wight in it: “Thunder in Old Kilpatrick” is up on the Creatures website. Have a look, and if you do, let me know what you think! (link here).

The Spell Book Volume 1: Creatures, is available for preorder. This one contains my story “Thunder in Old Kilpatrick”, which makes me happy as that story contains my only published wight!  Link here.

Wondering what the story behind my monster in the American Monsters Anthology was? Want to know where the term Gualicho actually comes from (most Argentines won’t know this, either). It’s all explained here!

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.
