Lost Atlantis anthology – inspiration

Lost Atlantis Short Stories – Coming Out Soon

I’m pleased to be published in a new anthology from Flame Tree Publishing – Lost Atlantis Short Stories. It’s available in the US as well as the UK.

This week the publisher has the second part of a Q&A with the authors about their writing process/inspiration, which can be read on their website:

Lost Atlantis Best Stories and Writing Practices

My story “Forgotten” is among many new and classic tales printed in a luxurious hardback format. It’s a pleasure to see the book on a shelf and read the stories by the other authors.

The modern authors have some interesting things to say about how they were inspired to write their stories on the publisher’s first Q and A here.

I’m also happy to say I’ve been published in a previous anthology by the same publisher called Footsteps in the Dark. You can check that out on Goodreads, Amazon US / Amazon UK  if you like Gothic fantasy and horror.

Have a great week!

New Anthology: Switchblade: Tech Noir

Switchblade: Tech Noir is now available on Amazon.

I’ve always enjoyed reading noir fiction and cyberpunk – so I was excited to find out Switchblade magazine wanted stories for a new anthology called Switchblade: Tech Noir. I was even more excited when my story Bad Score was among the ten tales selected by the editor, Scotch Rutherford.

Bad Score is a mix of hard-boiled crime story and dystopian SF, set in an America where cybernetic advancements have not created a perfect future.

The other contributors to the anthology are Callum McSorley, James Edward O’Brien, Mandi Jourdan, Hugh Lessig, Rob D. Smith, Matt Gomez, Nick Kolakowski, Eric Beetner and Alec Cizak.

Switchblade: Tech Noir contains 222 pages of new fiction.

If you like tough noir with a dark SF edge, I hope you will check it out!

My New Science Fiction Collections 2018

Hi. It’s been a while since I updated my blog. I’ve been busy working on two new SF short story collections, which I’m happy to say have just been released as ebooks:  Strange Blue World and Future Imperfect.

Future Imperfect

Future Imperfect is a collection of eight science-fiction short stories set in the far future. It includes five tales previously published in anthologies and three new ones exclusive to this SF book.

Strange Blue World

We all live on one strange blue world called Earth. This collection of SF is set on Earth – but not necessarily our Earth. This book contains a wide range of speculative fiction, including short stories about parallel universes, artificial intelligence, steampunk societies, alternate histories and many other science-fiction topics. Strange Blue World explores our planet in nineteen short stories for fans of quirky collections of science fiction.
