As Chief Security Officer of Stapledon, the sixth province of the thriving Rim community of Llorrac Siwel, Chief David mostly tanked drunks, broke up the odd fight on a Friday night and rounded up the usual suspects whenever a theft was reported. Of course, all that changed when Holly Grimes reported her husband, Chris, missing and the investigation embroiled the Chief in the mysterious and deadly project “Sleeper”.
It seems, somehow, I’m doing something right: first I picked up an honorable mention in Ellen Datlow’s BEST HORROR OF THE YEAR VOLUME ONE; now, I have just heard my short story, THE OTHER SIDE OF LIFE (Murky Depths issue #10), has been nominated as a contender for this year’s BSFA Awardfor Best Short Story!
Wow!
Thank you.
All the best,
Ian.
Well, yet another New Year is here and to start it off right, I am pleased (hell, I’m delighted) to inform you guys that my story, THE TERMINAL POINT OF ADDICTION, has been accepted by John Ferguson to appear within the pages of NECROLOGY SHORTS this very month (as well as possibly within their accompanying six monthly anthology).
So, please pay the NECROLOGY SHORTS a visit and check out THE TERMINAL POINT OF ADDICTION – it’s totally free and one nasty piece of work (if I do say so myself).
Happy New Year,
Ian.
