“Life from the Sky” at Forever Magazine
My novelette “Life from the Sky” is included in the July 2024 issue of Forever magazine. The story tells how this isn’t a good time for an alien life form, no matter how simple and harmless, to land on Earth. The story was originally published in Asimov’s magazine in 2018.
Forever is a monthly science fiction magazine that features previously published stories you might have missed, edited by the Hugo and World Fantasy Award-winning editor of Clarkesworld Magazine, Neil Clarke. The July 2024 issue also includes “The Gods Have Not Died in Vain” by Ken Liu, and “Unauthorized Access” by An Owomoyela. Cover art by Ron Guyatt.
You can by it from Weightless Books: Forever Magazine Issue 114.

If you can read Spanish, you can buy the Spanish-language version of my novelette “Who Won the Battle of Arsia Mons?” [“¿Quién ganó la batalla de Arsia Mons?” translated by Virginia Sáenz] published in the anthology Excelsius 2024. I attended the Celsius 232 literary festival for science fiction, fantasy, and horror in Spain in July, where an anthology of works by writers attending the festival was created as a premium for its Patreon members. It is now on sale to the public, and it includes stories by Angela Slatter, Beatriz Alcaná, Cat Sparks, Charlie Jane Anders, Fulanito Pingüino Escritor, Guillem López, JV Gachs, María Zaragoza, Santiago Eximeno, and Thomas Olde Heuvelt.
“Who Won the Battle of Arsia Mons?” was originally published (in English) at Clarkesworld Magazine in 2017 (available there in print and in audio). It tells the story of the stupidest thing I could think of for robots to do on Mars.
