Bucket List

If I had a bucket list, then getting into a Prime Books anthology would be on it. So let me mark a tick in that box. My story 'Manipulating Paper Birds' (which first appeared in my Strange Men collection) is to be reprinted in Circus, Fantasy Under the Big Top edited by Ekaterina Sedia. I've sent a huge thank you to the person who recommended the story.

A huge, huge thank you.

Isn't the cover awesome and creepy and well awesome?

Aftertaste

Issue 3 of Phantasmagorium is now available to buy. (Beware happy dancing occurring in the Liverpool area). It contains a reprint of my story 'The Sour Aftertaste of Olive Lemon' along with stories by Edward Morris, Cody Goodfellow, Ann K Schwader and Michael Cisco, and is edited by Joe Pulver.

So excited to see Olive Lemon in print again.

I shall now return to daydreaming about summer days and Mr Whippy ice cream.

No Flies on Me

Issue 3 of The Journal of Unlikely Entomology is now live and contains my story The Familiar Buzz of Gone, a tale of missed opportunities and a man made of flies. The issue also contains stories by Amanda C Davis (a reprint from Shock Totem and a story I love), J M McDermott, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Conor Powers-Smith, Steven L Peck, and Juliet Kemp. As well as reading the stories online you can also download the PDF (for those who'd prefer to read on their ereader).

I know what I'm reading this week. Oh, and even if you don't have time to read all the stories you have to check out the artwork for each tale because the art is astounding.

And in other Journal of Unlikely Entomology news, the magazine was a runner-up for best new online magazine in the storySouth Million Writers Award.
