Galaxy's Game Arrives!

The February 2025 issue of Aphelion magazine is out today, a webzine that is now in it's 28th year and has published several of my stories in the past. This issue includes Part I of my novel Galaxy's Game, and also the first Galaxy's Game side story, entitled The Last Noodle.

Galaxy's Game Side Stories

Between myself, Alex and Haydn, we've written several Galaxy's Game side stories. These are flash fiction length stories about side characters in the novel, either about what they were doing just before they turned up in the story, or what they did afterwards.

The first of these, The Last Noodle, has been accepted by Aphelion magazine. Hopefully the others will be too.
