Contract signed, so I can announce that my tale “Inherit the Sea” will be reprinted in a book coming from the good folks at After the Storm (they’d originally published it in their online magazine).
More details as they become available.
In Which I sell Culture Shock
My story “Culture Shock” has sold to Alien Dimensions. I’ll let everyone know when it gets published.
Pride and Joy Published by After the Storm
Cool news is that my story “Pride and Joy” has been published by After the Storm.
This one takes an awful situation and makes it uplifting – if anyone reads this, I’d love to know what you think. It’s free to read in the link here.
“The Eye” Published on Every Day Fiction
My story “The Eye” has been published on Every Day Fiction, it’s a very short tale, free to read, and you can check it out here.
The Wheeled Centaur Sold to Intrepidus Ink
Contract signed, so I can announce that my story “The Wheeled Centaur” will be published by Intrepidus Ink. It’s my first sale to this market, and it seems like the perfect place for what is quite a strange little piece of flash. I’d delighted!
Inherit the Sea Published in After the Storm
Woot! First publication of 2023! My story “Inherit the Sea” is up at After the Storm Magazine.
I really liked writing this one and if anyone wants a little hope in a bleak world, this might just be the ticket. It’s free to read, link here.
Sometimes Readers Hit the Nail on the Head
Sometimes I get a reader review I just have to share, because it captures what I was going for so perfectly. This one is for The Malakiad (link here in case it tempts anyone!):
Hilarious!
The Malakiad is to classic mythology what Hitchhiker’s Guide is to science fiction. Not only is the author’s wit razor sharp, his knowledge of his material (and so much more) is vast.
If you’re looking for a fun summer read, this is it.
Now THAT is a review to warm an author’s heart!
Two Mysterious Sales!
Sale! (well, sales, actually). I’ve signed and sent back the contracts, so I can announce that I sold two stories to Sherlock Holmes themed anthologies, called Sherlock Holmes, a Year of Mystery. I’ll be in the volumes for 1883 and 1884 (I was already in the one for 1882).
It’s a bit different from my usual SFF work, but I find writing the Sherlock Holmes universe extremely satisfying!
Phantasmical Contraptions and More Errors has Been Published
Phantasmical Contraptions and More Errors has been published. This one includes my story “A Position of Power”, a steampunk story set in a very alternative Buenos Aires around the turn of the 20th century.
I really like this one, and I hope you do, too. Link here.
Good Girl Published at Every Day Fiction
Definitely feeling like a writer today. Not only am I at WorldCon in Chicago, but I also got a story acceptance (about which more when contract is signed). Best of all, however, Every Day Fiction has published my evil little tale “Good Girl”.
It’s a very quick read, and I’ve placed the link here. The nice thing about EDF is that you can rate the story and leave comments (always useful if you hate it!).
