Stellar Flash News and Free eBook Giveaways updated

By Admin

Hi. Many thanks for subscribing. I hope you’ve all had a fantastic January. I’m glad it’s finally 2021 and things are looking up.

I’m about a third of the way through writing The Robots of Atlantis, weaving what looks like unconnected story threads together and causing some temporal problems for our heroes. Progressing along nicely. I might have a preview paragraph ready for a future issue.

In the meantime, I thought I’d share the great news that the Antipodean SF Radio Show on 2NVR in NSW, Australia, has accepted one of my short stories and will broadcast my audio narration of it in April. What’s special about this is that it is set in the Stellar Flash universe, but in 2036, so almost a 100 years before our intrepid alien crew begin their adventures. As soon as it’s available to download, I’ll send a link. If I get some positive feedback on it, it might lead to a new book series!

Of course, this newsletter would not be complete without at least one giveaway! And the great news is I have four! Click on the banners to find out more.

Here are a couple more for January. The first is ‘Free Sci-fi and Fantasy.‘

The second is Alien Winters 2 – Sci-Fi and Fantasy Giveaway.

These two are organised with other authors through StoryOrigin.

Both of these free giveaways end on the 31st January so it’s best to check them out today!

The third one has just started so you have a bit of time to check it out. It’s also called Free Sci-fi & Fantasy Jan 27 – Feb 28 and is organised through BookFunnel. The amazing thing about this one is that there are over 90 free ebooks to download!

And, finally, I thought I’d try organising one myself. Not quite as much as 90 ebooks for my one, but still containing ebooks that are worth checking out. This one is a short one. Just January 22 to Feb 5 and organized via BookCave. Find out more here: Space Fiction – Aliens, the Far Future, and More!

Many thanks for your interest in space fiction and the Stellar Flash series. 

Until next time.

Being Prepared

By Admin

This is all new for me. 

I’m very excited to be able to create newsletters for you with special offers, bonuses and news, but before 2021 I had almost nothing to say. If you had joined in February 2020 and have wondered why you haven’t heard much from me, well, that’s why. Certainly, as a writer, I’m afraid to bore anyone. My goal is to entertain. My hope is that one of my stories will have you sitting back and thinking about it for hours after you read it. (Hopefully with some semblance of joy or interest!) So, I had thought that the idea of making a newsletter as interesting as fiction is, would be, well, a work of fiction.

However, this year I learnt from a number of writers that part of being a writer is not only updating people about your work, but also letting them know about other like-written author’s works that your readers might also like.

Of course, there must be writers out there that write similar stories to what I write. And many readers read a book a week, some a book a day. If I end up just releasing three a year, then I’m letting my readers down by not suggesting other works that will interest them.

And so, I have organised some giveaways with other authors for you. It’s all very exciting, and it’s kind of like walking into a library for the first time. You’ve suddenly got access to all these great stories that you didn’t know were available.

So, this issue, I’m really happy to tell you about an upcoming giveaway. It’s short and sweet!

It’s running from January 20th to February 3rd, and it’s called Sci-Fi Group Giveaway – Technological Breakthrough. 

I hope you find a gem in there.

In other news I’ve launched a new collection series. This first one is like a proof of concept release and features 10 of my space-fiction-focused stories. You may have read some of them already as most have appeared in Alien Dimensions, Science Fiction Weekly and Hoganthology. If not, please check out Space Fiction Collection 1

Future collections will feature other authors’ stories taken from no-longer-available issues of Alien Dimensions. And, hopefully, some surprises!

Many thanks for your interest in space fiction and the Stellar Flash series. Until next time.
