By 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.
