I’m so pleased that one of my Wordos stories will appear in this anthology, edited by Mike Jack Stoumbos. It features many upcoming talents from the world of science fiction and fantasy writing.
I’m very pleased to announce that my wer-skunk story “The Lady M” has been sold to Pulp Literature Magazine. It is slated to appear in their Autumn 2023 issue (#40). This is a great Canadian magazine that publishes not only science fiction and fantasy but also murder mysteries, etc. This is my 2nd short story sale of 2023. I’m awaiting word to announce the other one!
I spent about 10 hours in June on Cybersix! I was asked to do a voiceover with commentary re-watch of my #cybersix episode “Terra” for the upcoming blu-ray edition. The show was done about 25 years ago. So difficult to know what to say after that long! I honestly did not keep every scrap of paper on its evolution as a script, but I did locate and read my final (5th draft) script for the episode. I was able to note certain additions the director, storyboard and animation team added, as I compared final script with final cut of show.
I told my anecdotes about it, too. I won’t spoil those here by retelling- I hope the blu-ray Cybersix is successful! Thanks for the memories!
My news this week is that my flash story, ‘Cupid’s Rebellion’ is on the long list for the Pulp Literature Hummingbird Prize! Winner to be announced July 15, 2023. See https://pulpliterature.com/contests/the-hummingbird-flash-fiction-prize/ for next year’s competition.
Hope everyone had a great Canada Day! I went to the airport and picked up Jessica after her three week trip to Europe! More on that later, but she participated in FEST! A film festival for emerging directors and students. Her latest film was shown there. More photos once I get permission 🙂
June was great for writing. I got another flash done for the Wordos Solstice night, which makes me happy.
