The Desert Cold for Flash Fiction Online, Algernon Whisper out

Lots of news for the month, so I thought I'd better get it out while there's still a little January left.

Most exciting from my point of view, I've made my first pro-rate sale, to Flash Fiction Online. Despite being relatively new on the scene they're putting out a superb webzine, and I heartily recommend the January issue, which - since it's flash - takes all of about ten minutes to read! My story, "The Desert Cold", should be appearing in the March issue if all goes well.

Next, and nearly as exciting, I have two more stories out in print this month. Firstly, making it by a nose, the January issue of The Willows featuring my "The Facts in the Case of Algernon Whisper's Karma" came out yesterday; secondly (and perhaps a slight cheat), issue 9 of OG's Speculative Fiction (as already plugged below) is now available
in print from Lulu.

Allotment set for Barren Worlds

I've just had final confirmation that my
story "Allotment" will be appearing
in the Desolate Places anthology,
from Hadley Rille Books.

This is my first anthology, and
hopefully, my first story to be available
from a multinational bookseller
(in this case, Amazon.com).
