Antipodean Science Fiction’s site stays current, and older issues get archived by The National Library of Australia, so this is the new link for Puncture Wound from the November 2009 issue.

Vampire Gustav … in quarterly best
My story “The Vampire Gustav at the End of the Universe” has been selected as part of the Bewildering Stories Quarterly Best (fourth quarter, issues 355-365). I’m pretty honoured – especially since “Gustav” is one of my strangest tales (actually, that’s probably what makes it a good fit for Bewildering Stories).
Marooned – Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror books on Mars
My story “The Stone Goddess” from Horror Through the Ages has a mention on the Marooned blog. Definitely check out Paul’s blog – regularly updated with lots of great Mars fiction info.
Another Fibonacci Sequence Poem
A quiet little publication here. My Fibonacci Sequence poem “Reanimated” has been published on the very cool AlienSkinMag Science Fiction site. The Fibs appear in the left-hand column, randomly, so it might take a little exploring before my poem shows, but the site has some great stuff to read anyway, so it’s fun to look.
Alternate Reality/Time Travel anthology

My story “Berg” has been accepted for The Next Time – Lame Goat Press’s anthology of alternate reality/time travel stories. This looks like coming out some time during early-mid 2010.
Also from Lame Goat Press – the Horror Through The Ages anthology (with my story “Stone Goddess”) is now available directly from Amazon.
Puncture Wound – new story out now
My story Puncture Wound is out now in the November issue of Antipodean Science Fiction. This is an inter-linked story, a prequel if such a thing is possible, to my story How Things Fall, which was on the same site last year.
nb – 23 December: now archived – see this post for details
Two new stories in the world, then three
A good day for publishing today:
My 5000 word Science Fiction story “To a Pile of Ashes” has come out in the October issue of Infinite Windows. This is another xenoarchaeology themed story, though probably pretty stand alone, unlike the world of “Skinny Joe” (also on Infinite Windows earlier this year) which I will want to visit again.
My 1200 word entry in the Flashes In The Dark summer chiller contest “Breathe In” has been published in Flashes in the Dark. This is more of a suspense thriller than anything supernatural. Along the lines of the much shorter “Eddie’s on Fire” which came out on MicroHorror a few months back.
Also in the good news for today, my story “The Stone Goddess” has been accepted for the print anthology Horror Through the Ages. More details to come.
SF story coming out in November in Antipodean SF
My story “Puncture Wound” will appear in the November issue of Antipodean Science Fiction – I’ll post the link later in the year when it comes out. “Puncture Wound” is a kind of prequel to my story “How things fall”, published in the same Antipodean SF last year.
