Yorick IV Podcast

The podcast of Canines, Reptiles and Other Biological Anomalies is now up at Tall Tale TV. This is the fourth Yorick story, and appears less than a fortnight after the Slovenian version. 

Escapades in Dutch

I seem to be on a bit or a roll! The Dutch translation of my short story Escapades in Time is out in issue #288 of SF Terra magazine. 

This is my 7th story in a fortnight! It's the 7th language for this story, and my third story in Dutch.

Slovenian Anomalies

Issue 18 of  Slovenian magazine Supernova is now out, and includes the translation of my fourth Yorick story Canines, Reptiles and Other Biological Anomalies. 

This is the third language for this story and my fourth story in Slovenian.

Galaxy's Game Triple

 The double April / May issue of Aphelion is out, and includes parts 3 and 4 of Galaxy's Game, as well as the side story Shards of a New Life. 

I have a few more side stories to polish up and submit...

A Droid by Any Other Name

 My short story Romeo and the Robots is out now at Nature.com, along with my brief 'story behind the story' article. It's my fifth story in Nature, and my second story published in a week!

Living on the Edge of Darkness

The Spring 2025 edition of Dragon Gems is now out, including my short story Living on the Edge of Darkness. This story was partly inspired by a short story by Jason Sanford that I read in Interzone years ago, and also partly by an episode of the remake of The Prisoner.

The Camel Goes to India

In belated news, I heard today that the Hindi translation of my short story Englebert was published in the December 2024 issue of popular science magazine Vigyan Sampreshan.

It's the 9th language for this story, my second story in this magazine and my third in Hindi.

The Second Week of Quarantine

 I've sold my short story The Second Week of Quarantine to Black Cat Weekly, an online mixed-genre magazine that published new and classic stories. Not sure of the publication date yet, but soon I guess...

Romeo and the Robots

I'm very pleased to announce that I've sold my short story Romeo and the Robots to Nature magazine, my fifth sale to that august publication. I don't have a publication date yet, but presumably some time this year. 

This is my third Shakespearian science fiction story.

Galaxy's Game, Part 2

Part two of my serialised novel Galaxy's Game is now out at Aphelion. A Line of Dominoes continues the story of interplanetary businessman Brett Hawks and his flying jellyfish-like companion Nirf as they travel from planet to plant in a chaotic series of misadventures.
