Two New Books Received

I’ve just gotten my author’s copies of two new anthologies that I was lucky enough to land in. The first is a whimsical fable about some not-so-whimsical creatures, called “White Flag,” originally published back in 2003 but now on display in Tales of Galactic Pest Control.

Robots Past and Future

Very excited to be able to reveal at last that my story “Wills and Trust” has been accepted for publication in the upcoming anthology Robots Past and Future from Flame Tree Publishing. As you can see from the link, Flame Tree is known for its exquisite offerings and spectacular covers. This is a market I’ve been trying to crack for a long time and I’m thrilled that this was the story that broke through. The book will debut in August in Great Britain and September in the US.

It deals with the passing of legacies, the loss of family, and the age-old question: What makes us human? Perhaps biology is only part of the answer…

I hope you will put Robots Past and Future on your TBR list, and you’ll let me know what you think of all the stories you find there.
