Romeo and the Robots Return
The Farsi translation of Romeo and the Robots is out now at Metaphor Space, my third story in Farsi and the the fourth language for this story. My story depends on knowledge of one of Shakespeare's most well-known stories, and so far it translates well around the world.

Gone With the Window
My very short story Gone With the Window is also out today at the fabulously-named Quotidian Bagatelle. This story was previously published in Scots a few years back, and is one of two stories of mine that are scheduled to appear on this daily webzine in the next few weeks.

Feast or Famine?
The anthology Feast or Famine? is now out, and includes my Jack Vance-style story Season of the Slumwort. All of the stories in the anthology centre around food in some way. In my case it's the eponymous slumwort, which is an unappetizing cabbagelike vegetable that appears all too often throughout the story.
