I'm really counting my blessings with all the publications of my work this year. The latest is my poem 'The flavour of friendship (for Margo)' in 'The Auroras & Blossoms Magazine: Issue 1'. Price: $/€/£ 1.99 only.
Out now, 'The Auroras & Blossoms PoArMo Anthology: Volume 4', with work by David Ellis, Azelle Elric, Cendrine Marouat, Nichola Napora and myself. Until 14th November this ebook is available for the special introduction price of $/€ 4,99 instead of $/€ 8,99.
Two Techno Tales by John Shirley --hey! that's me!-- appear at THE FREEZINE today. Good illustrations. Each piece is short, essentially flash fiction. Check out the Freezine generally--it is, yes, free and requires no registration. Lots of good stuff there.
The first piece is To Live and Die in Googletown. The second is Flibbertigibbet.
Writing a #flashfiction for my local writers group. 350 words with the prompt: birthday party, locked cupboard, twins. The variety is always interesting when we read our stories aloud.
