stellar flash the robots of atlantis Archives - Stellar Flash Science Fiction and Fantasy Space Opera Series

Other Writing Projects

Hi.

Thank for subscribing. I very much appreciate your interest in the Stellar Flash series and characters, and your support of Space Fiction.

Things are speeding along nicely with the Robots of Atlantis, and pieces are falling into place. I’ve got some unexpected twists and turns happening that even I didn’t expect! Amazing what happens when personalities come up against each other and suggest solutions that haven’t crossed my mind before their interactions began. I like to give them a bit of free rein before, well, reining them in.

However, I’m taking a short break from it as an editor has asked me to submit something regarding Stanislaw Lem for consideration. For those of you not familiar with Lem’s work, the George Clooney movie Solaris is loosely based on one of his novels. In Poland, 2021 has been declared the year of Stanislaw Lem (amongst other patrons) and its a great reason to have another look at his work. So, the past couple of days I’ve been absorbing his writing style and hope to put together something that does him homage. I’ll let you know how it goes. (You can check out some Lem works on Amazon here: Stanislaw Lem )

In other news, I have just released Space Fiction Collection 2. This contains a collection of stories that two other writers and I collaborated on for early issues of Alien Dimensions. Aric Merchant and Nicky Martin were great at writing to a deadline based on my suggestions and I’m really happy to have these stories see the light in book form again. You can find out more here:

And now, some giveaways!

The first is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Giveaway organised through StoryOrigin. This will end on Feb 28.

Then there’s one I’m organising called Space Fiction Giveaway – Aliens and the Future. Also finishes on Feb 28. This one is through Prolific Works. Prolific Works will also be promoting this in their newsletter and featuring it on their website so I think they like the idea of something specifically focused on Space Fiction.

Another Prolific Works giveway that I’m involved in is called War of the Worlds. This one is running for a bit longer – until the 1st April.

I hope you find something compelling there.

Have a great week!

Until next time

Hi. Many thanks for subscribing, and for your patience waiting for The Robots of Atlantis: Stellar Flash Book Four. I’m aiming for a October 2020 release for that one. I plan to include a lot more esoteric information regarding the ‘true’ Atlantis so in my spare time I’ve been researching this. I’m thinking that the storylines will follow one from 12,800 years ago (10,780 B.C.) , a storyline from 2053, and our current Stellar Flash storyline of 2133. Still working on how these are all going to come together.

I took a break for most of this year to focus on my Creative Writing Degree. Just a few more assessments to go, and I’ll get back to writing Stellar Flash Book Four.

As you might be aware, I edit Alien Dimensions. Well, to help raise funds for issue #19, I’ve collected a number of my short stories together into a single 800 (5″ x 8″) page volume called Hoganthology. It’s now available in digital and in print formats through Amazon. It’s also available via Kindle Unlimited.

The news for Stellar Flash readers is that I’ve included a rough synopsis for… Book Seven! Tentatively titled Stellar Flash 2135 A.D, (considering it as a potential high concept movie), along with some excerpts from a rough script.

Hoganthology Digital

Hoganthology Print

So, Hoganthology will raise funds through page views in Kindle Unlimited, and commissions through sales to help launch the next issue of Alien Dimensions. Sales from this and other titles will then help me write more Stellar Flash novels. If you know of anyone who might be interested in the title, please feel free to pass on this email to them.

Many thanks for your support, and interest in the Stellar Flash series.

All the best

Update July 2020 – Due to the COVID-19 situation, and my city being under lockdown for months, I haven’t had any chance to focus on the book, what with worrying about where my income is going to come from, and being in a one bedroom apartment with my family 24/7. Lucky we’re introverts, but not being able to go to a cafe and have a couple of hours every day in silence to write has meant there’s been no progress on the Robots of Atlantis since January.

I’m really sorry to let everyone down about this. I’ll just have to delay it until 2021.

I hope you’re all safe and well, and hope the rest of the year will be better for you.
