Macbeth and the Martians

 Having figured out how to create an eBook using KDP, I decided to release my novel Macbeth and the Martians, co-written with William Shakespeare, as a stand-alone eBook. 




I came up with the title at the same time as Romeo and the Robots, but this story incorporates most of Shakespeare's dialogue, with an overarching story that explains how everything that happens is the result of an alien invasion.

Third Caer Valley Story

I've signed the contract and can now happily announce that my short story News of (a Small Corner of) the World has been accepted by All Worlds Wayfarer magazine, to be published next year. This is the third of my stories to be set in the small community of the Caer Valley, after the mysterious Isolation Event.

The three stories are interlinked but independent, so can be read in any order:

  • In response to Your Reader, published in Nature magazine last year
  • A Hole Lot of News, forthcoming in the anthology The Big Book of Quantum Fiction
  • News of (a Small Corner of) the World forthcoming in All Worlds Wayfarer magazine
