“Dear Superhero” is now available on Daily Science Fiction! It’s short and it’s free to read!
I uploaded “H²O” to Smashwords and Amazon. This story has always been a bit difficult to pin down, category-wise. I wrote it as a fantasy story, but it made its original appearance in Trysts of Fate as paranormal romance. It’s probably best to check out the sample and decide for yourself.
In other news, I just found out that my Daily Science Fiction story, “Dear Superhero,” will be emailed out and available on their website this Wednesday, May 20th. I’ll post when that happens, but I thought I would give you a heads up in case you wanted to subscribe now and get it delivered to your inbox.
The schedule is posted–I’ll be on three panels at Marcon this year:
Damsels – In Chainmail: Is there still a place in fantasy for the “damsel in distress” of the past? Would readers accept a story today where a woman is kidnapped by a giant gorilla and screams until rescued by a man? Or must female heroes now all wear chain mail or leather, wield broadswords and be able to hand men’s heads to them?
Self Publishing Your Novel (Fiction & Non-fiction): The business of self-publishing and what to expect are discussed in this program. What are your options when it comes to self-publishing? How do you keep from getting ripped off? How do you decide if it is right for you and what aspects should you let someone else deal with? Come see if self-publishing is for you.
Supernatural – 10 years of saving people and bromance: [The description isn’t showing up on this one, but I think the title gives you a pretty good idea]
Marcon runs from May 8-10, 2015 in Columbus, Ohio. If you’re in the area, check it out!
It’s Read an Ebook Week at Smashwords! Use the coupon code RW100 to get any of my stories on Smashwords for FREE! The promotion lasts until March 7th. And check out the rest of the ebooks too!
“Retirement” will appear in the July 2015 issue of Outposts of Beyond!
My story, “Dear Superhero,” has been accepted by Daily Science Fiction. I’m not sure when exactly it will be published, but if you subscribe (it’s free!), you can get it delivered to your inbox when it does (plus, get a story emailed to you every weekday).
I also found out when “Fish and Fools” will be published. It’s scheduled to appear in the May 2015 issue of Stupefying Stories.
I finally got around to uploading my short story, “Sparkles,” to Smashwords and Amazon. If you already read it in its first appearance in Outposts of Beyond #2, you can still click the link to get a better look at the cover. Any guesses as to what the picture in the center really is? (I took it, and while something strange might have happened with the lighting–my camera is old and small–I did not manipulate the picture, other than by cropping it.)
“Captain Sable’s Crew” is now available in FrostFire Worlds Issue #5!
I’ve uploaded “Trying to Fly” to Smashwords and Amazon! As I mentioned before, this novelette has not been published previously. If you prefer a different ebook distributor, it will make its way to Barnes & Noble, Apple iBookstore, and Kobo soon–I probably won’t post when that happens, but I’ll add the links to the “Stories” page when I see them. Happy reading!
Coming soon: my novelette, “Trying to Fly”! Unlike the other stories I’ve self-published, this one has not been published previously. I have to remind myself how to do the ebook formatting, but in the meantime, I’ve made the cover:
Also, if you didn’t see my Facebook post, I made “Konstantin” FREE on Smashwords!
