The last month has been a little crazy on the day-job front, but I finally got around to posting this, my first sale - a short story in the new anthology "The Tangled Bank: Love, Wonder and Evolution".

cover

"Hopeful Monsters: A Darwinian Fairytale" puts a twist on the traditional oral tale, by retelling it from an evolutionary perspective. No Big Bad Wolf here, just natural selection!

Buy the book Lulu.com (ebook) - POD paperback coming soon!

The I Do Two anthology is now available in pdf  here!

Other formats are in the pipeline and should be coming along very soon, and it has gone to the printers.  So it should be available in print in about a fortnight.

All profits from this anthology will be donated to the Lambda Legal Defense to support their fight for marriage equality for all.  So if you buy this anthology, you won't only get a great read, you'll also be doing a good deed :)  

It's a good hefty volume.  Nearly 100K long, containing 22 stories from authors ranging from the well known - like James Buchanan - to newly discovered rising stars - like D.C Juris.  And as part of the team who chose the stories, I can vouch that every single one of them is good.

My contribution is called Inner Truth, which is a glimpse at the happy ending of John and Alfie from False Colors, but told through the eyes of one Joe Malley who has his own problems:


Naomi Clark and Rebecca J Payne will each have a short story in the upcoming January issue of Ethereal Tales.

Woe! Woe is me! For the first time in my life my precious, heartfelt words are out there in the big bad wide world and - ouch! What are you doing, firing such barbed arrows into my heart? Oh you scoundrel, how can you not like the story I slaved for months over, you must be a heartless beast, or at the very least, an idiot who didn't see the subtext that was staring you in the face...
