The Fifth Di… June 2018

Nomadic Delirium Press has just put out their regular magazine The Fifth Di…

The June 2018 issue features many good stories and one by me.

TheFifthDiJune2018SlaveShip

Slave Ship is about an innocent Englishman working on a starship that takes indentured workers to a harsh planet. Trevor pities them and would like to help but is, frankly, a bit of a wimp. Can he man up enough to do what’s necessary?

A free story wot I wrote.

Now and then I send a story to Aurora Wolf – A Literary Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy. It’s a story website that focuses on good clean fiction. They took Finders Keepers from me. (At the time of writing I was not aware that Stephen King had just put out a book with the same title.)

Anyway, here it is, free to read like all the stories on Aurora Wolf. Looking at it with fresh eyes I found it a little preachy, something I shall guard against in future tales.

Two stories in one magazine

.Alban Lake have just released the latest issue of Frostfire Worlds May 2018 and I have two stories in it. (They must be short of contributors) Chicken Feed is about a town pestered by Harpies. Captain Hastings and the Flying Saucer is about a free trader falling foul of aliens when he goes mining in their territory. I’m glad to be in this magazine.

As a token of my appreciation for editor Karen Otto I’ll use this post to let you know about her new novella Bugs In the System. It, too, is just $2.99 for the e-book.

Parasitic brain slugs that control sentient species. Hulking space alligators with bad attitudes. Beautiful blue creatures with psionic gifts that make them perfect therapists and lovers. All of this and more lies within an area of space known as the Sarkos Cluster. Their interactions and clandestine machinations, are just a few of the things you will find floating in The Void. Grab a piece of the action for yourself, and come along to find out how a unique crew came together in a time before a great war tore apart their collective worlds.

End of shameless plug.
