German Quarantine

The German translation of my short story The Second Week of Quarantine is out today at Phantastikon, the first translation of this story. 

 It's my third story at Phantastikon and my fifth in German altogether.

Thai Three

 Three of my short stories are being translated into Thai and will appear on the website of the Thai Science Fiction Club next month: The Gondolier, Englebert and The Second Week of Quarantine.

These will be my first stories in Thai, making this my 37th language.

Dutch Quarantine

 I'm very pleased that my short story The Second Week of Quarantine, which appeared earlier this year in Black Cat Weekly, has been accepted by Dutch magazine SF Terra. This is the fourth translation I'm now expecting for this story, and will be my fourth appearance in SF Terra.

Romeo and the Chinese Robots

The Chinese translation of my short story Romeo and the Robots is now out at what I assume is an affiliate of Nature, the original publishers. Nature have worldwide translation rights for a period of time, and several different language editions. 

This is my first story in Chinese - my 36th language!

Aurochs and Cave Bears in Romania

 The Romanian translation of my third Yorick story, Aurochs, Cave Bears and Other Charismatic Megafauna, is now out in the new issue of Galaxia 42 magazine.

This is the fourth language for this story, my sixth story in Galaxia 42 and my tenth story in Romanian altogether. 

Dutch Accountability

 My short story Accountability has been accepted by Dutch genre magazine In Tenebris. They're a very well organised team - this is for the September 2026 issue!

This will be my fifth story in Dutch, and the first translation for this story.

Black Cat Weekly #206

 My dieselpunk story A Breath of Fresh Air is out today in issue #206 of Black Cat Weekly magazine - my second story in this publication.

It's my 7th new story in English so far this year, which is the most I've had published for years.

Greek Quarantine

 My short story The Second Week of Quarantine, recently published at Black Cat Weekly, has been accepted by Greek magazine Ef-Zin to be published in the January issue - my first confirmed story for 2026. This will be my eighth story in that magazine, and my eleventh in Greek altogether.

A Breath of Fresh Air

 I'm very pleased to have sold a second story to Black Cat Weekly, following on from the recently-published The Second Week of Quarantine. This time it's my dieselpunk story A Breath of Fresh Air. It seemed like the ideal magazine, publishing as it does classic sci fi and historical fiction as well as new stories, and indeed the editor evidently thought the same.

A Farsi Response

 My short story In Response to Your Reader, first published in Nature magazine, has been accepted by Farsi magazine Metaphor Space. This will be my second story there, and the sixth language for this story.
