The Kickstarter campaign for the Itty Bitty Writing Space anthology (which will include a reprint of my SF story, Bee Futures) is now in its final phase.

If you'd like to back this anthology there are still some fantastic rewards available.

Shacklebound Books has published its Sins and Other Worlds anthology, initially as an ebook, although it will soon be available as a PoD paperback as well. Editor/publisher Eric Fomley has assembled an extraordinary line-up for this anthology.

My contributor's copy of Stacy Danielle Katczinsky's anthology of SF stories, She Blended Me With Science, has arrived. It's a handsome-looking paperback with a striking cover designed by Pablo Vercelli and good print quality inside. The one customer review of this anthology I've seen so far states that all the stories are "well-crafted and brilliantly written tales, and some of them are mind-blowing". That's always pleasing for an author to hear! Nearing Your Future!

29 October 2018
A little over a year ago, Scottish SF magazine Shoreline of Infinity published one of my short stories. I greatly enjoyed working with the editor, Noel Chidwick, to make my story as good as it could be. So I'm delighted to learn that Shoreline of Infinity received the 2018 award for Best Magazine/Periodical award from the British Fantasy Society. Thoroughly well deserved! Punk Needs More Kicks!
