Englebert in Telugu

The Telugu translation of my short story Englebert is out today at literary webzine Sanchika, translated as Into the Desert... 

This is the 11th language for this story, and Telugu is a new language for me - my 38th! 

Most of the translations have been accompanied by illustrations of Englebert, but this one also features the other main character ,Yusef.

Thai Sci Fi Club

Another new language today, my 37th: Thai. Three of my stories appear on the website of the Thai SciFi Club, along with the English originals: 

• The Gondolier
• The Second Week of Quarantine
• Englebert

The Gondolier had previously been translated into Thai and appeared here on this website. The Thai Sci Fi Club have published that version along with a poetic version of the same story. Interestingly, when the German translation was published in Exodus magazine it was also listed as a poem.

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.

My story Englebert appears on Telugu literary website Saaranga Saaranga today. In a classic case of 'lost in translation' it has been published in English, not in Telugu.

The Camel Goes to Sri Lanka

Part one of the Sinhalese translation of my short story Englebert is out today in fortnightly popular science magazine Vidusara.

This is the seventh language for this story, and Sinhalese is a new language for me - my 34th.

Two Russian Stories

The Russian translations of my stories Englebert and The Righteous Indignation of the Naked Mole Rat appear in the new issue of Ural Pathfinder magazine.

Russian is a new language for me - my 32nd.

This is the sixth language for Englebert and the seventh for Mole Rats.

The righteous Indignation of the Naked Mole Rat

Three Occitan Tales

Rather excitingly, three of my stories have been accepted for publication by Diu Negre, a website of science fiction, fantasy and horror in  Occitan.

Occitan will be my 28th published language.


The Gondolier, being the shortest, is up first and you can read it here.

Englebert in Hungarian

In slightly late news, my story Englebert, first published in Daily Science Fiction, was published in Hungarian last April in the magazine Galaktika.

My name is even on the cover!






This is my second story in the magazine, following on from A Few Good Men back in 2009. I knew they'd accepted the story last year, but they forgot to tell me it was published. It's not my first surprise translation though!

Hungarian Story Sale

I'm very pleased to have sold my short story Englebert, first published in Daily Science Fiction, to Hungarian magazine Galaktika. My last story with them was in 2009 and it's a very nicely produced, professional looking magazine.
