ToC Announcement for “Gothic Fantasy” anthologies, including my story “Behind the First Years”

Posted on by Stewart

My story, “Behind the First Years” (originally published in COSMOS Online) will be appearing in print besides Jules Verne, Mark Twain, Arthur Conan Doyle, and a ton of really awesome present-day writers in an upcoming anthology from Flame Tree Publishing.

You can see the full list of authors here (I’m way down at the bottom under ‘science fiction’). I’m especially pleased to be appearing with author friends Keyan Bowes, Beth Cato, Alexis A. Hunter, Rachael K. Jones, and M. Darusha Wehm. Huzzah!

The anthology looks to be pretty slick in terms of production value, and will be a big, shiny hardcover. I’ll post a link once it’s available!

My story “The Butterfly Disjunct” a free read on @QuarterReads this week.

Go give it a read (if you haven’t already), and sign in to rate it if you like.

Sockdolager Issue 1 Podcast

Posted on by Stewart

The Sockdolager, where my story “Aarne-Thompson Index for After the End of Things” appeared online this spring, has put together a podcast about that issue (which was their first).

I’m not normally one for podcasts (I don’t have the attention span, is what it boils down to), but it’s really fascinating to hear the editors talk about the process and the reasons for their choices for purchasing various stories and/or why they like them. (I must admit I am a little biased in this particular case, since one of the editors says my story is one of his favourite things they’ve published.)

If you like podcasts, fiction, or just that story of mine, go give them a listen. It’s interesting stuff!

The podcast is supported by their Patreon account, so if you like what they do and have the fundage to do so, you should also consider pledging there.
