My "For Odin, for Thor, for Asgard" collection of short stories now free on Amazon

Some advance notice that my “For Odin, for Thor, for Asgard” collection of short stories of the gods of Asgard in science fiction and science fantasy settings will be free on Amazon for 3 days 23/24/25 February. In these stories I’ve written the norse gods as very powerful and very cosmically aware entities. Perhaps more so than in the mythology or the comics or movies. Some seem to like this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AHNE27W

200th Anniversary Issue of Antipodean SF now online

Here’s a link to my new flash fiction sci-fi story “Social Experiment” published in the 200th anniversary issue of the Antipodean SF site: http://www.antisf.com.au/the-stories/...
It’s a bumper issue with 22 authors with 22 new pieces of fiction, and also a "flashback" piece of fiction from each author. So maybe worth checking out the whole issue. My own flashback story is called “The Visitor” and is the first story I had published on Antipodean SF. If you scroll down the above link you can find my flash back story at the bottom of the link.

200th Anniversary Issue of Antipodean SF is comibg up

The 200th issue anniversary of the Antipodean SF speculative fiction site is coming up on Sunday 1 February: https://www.facebook.com/events/13860...
I’ll post a link to the site once issue # 200 is published. There will be 22 authors with 22 new pieces of fiction, and another "flashback" piece of fiction from each author, in most cases their very first contribution to the magazine/radio show. My story “Social Experiment” will be among the new pieces and my story “The Visit” (the first story I ever wrote for Antipodean SF) will be among the flashback pieces of fiction.
