First fiction publication of the year!

My flash fiction story ‘Brane Surgery’ is now available from Kazka Press.

Hope you enjoy it, and do look at the other authors in this issue of their web magazine! Many thanks to Kazka for publishing this, and especially for the rapid turn around from submission a bit over a month ago to publication today.

If you want to comment on the story, there is an open thread here. All comments and criticism very welcome.

A Year in Words

I had five pieces published last year, including one in Nature Futures.

This year’s harvest has been a bit thinner, with only one piece published – my non-fiction story ‘Launch Day’ in Rocket Science.*

But things are already looking up for 2013, with the news today that a flash fiction piece of mine has sold to Kazka Press!

More news of this once the details of publication are sorted.

* I wasn’t entirely idle, though, as I’m a co-author of something like sixty scientific papers this year.
