Fiction Magazine

My review of new UK SF magazine Fiction is now appearing at SF UK Review.

Poll Results

The results of the Preditors & Editors Readers' Poll have been anounced and The Last Adam finished in 11th place. I just missed out on a top ten award, but when you consider that just 90 stories were nominated out of the countless hundreds that are published each year, and that my story was voted 11th out of them, I'm pretty pleased.

I don't know who nominated The Last Adam in the first place, but a special thankyou to that person, and to all of the other people who voted for me.

Unconventional and Touching

Matt Wallace, one of the team behind new UK magazine Murky Depths, talks about their plans for issue #1 at his live journal. He writes regarding my story Looking In, Looking Out, slated for issue #1:

We've got one of the most unconventional and touching tales of first contact I have ever read.

I hope you'll agree when you see it.

Then and There

Another sad day noted at Ralan's. UK SF magazine Here & Now has been closed by its editor. I never even got to read a copy. :o(

Another Delivery

My copy of Static Movement has arrived. It looks great, and is packed with stories. The photo accompanying The Last Adam is very effective. Another prize to ad to my collection.

Waiting for the Postman

The excitement is building as I check the post each day. Which reminds me, I read The Postman recently and it's a brilliant book. Anyway, I'm waiting on the following to arrive through my letter box:

Universe Pathways #6 - Containing part B of the Greek translation of Artefact Nouveau.

Static Movement - Containing The Last Adam, with illustration.

Issue #1 of Fiction magazine that I'll be reviewing.

Review copies of #6 & #7 of Forgotten Worlds, a magazine that I really enjoyed the previous issue of.

Issue #8 of Here & Now that I'll also be reviewing, though it seems to have been delayed.

I also got Shadow of Saganami through the post last week and I'm well into that already.

That should keep me busy for a while. Meanwhile I'm working on plots for 2 stories in my head...

Keep an Eye on This

The February 'Invitation Only' issue of Static Movement is now on-line and includes the reprint of A Feast of Eyes. It is accompanied by a specially commissioned piece of artwork by Kevin James Hurtack.

Static Movement Print Edition

The Static Movement print edition, containing The Last Adam is now available from Lulu.

Go and buy a copy!

Last of the Oldies

You may remember from previous posts that some of my stories were written a dozen years ago and subsequently abandoned in a cupboard. I revived and rewrote some of them, and the last of those, entitled Looking In, Looking Out has now been accepted by new UK SF magazine Murky Depths. It is scheduled to appear in issue #1, due in September.

Murky Depths is a professional looking, glossy magazine and you can read a favourable review of their promotional issue at SF UK Review.
