Yes, it’s that time of year again. For the many people who weren’t around on May 4th 2008 when I posted my first “hello world” from my brand new writing blog – that is, all of you – May 4th 2008 is the date from which I reckon my writing career began. So as [...]

And for all you folks who would love to read some ebooks but can’t bring yourself to part with a dollar or two to buy them (you know who you are), now’s your chance to get them at reduced prices or even free at Smashwords.

This time it was a collection of short stories called Nothing but Flowers. As with her previous offerings, the writers involved (27 of us in this case) not only contributed [...] February 20th, 2011 | Tags: book, ebooks, fiction, future of publishing, Graham Storrs, Kindle, love story, portfolio, post-apocalyptic, publishers, sci-fi, science fiction, short stories, writers, writing | Category: announcements | 8 comments I have a secret identity. No, I’m not going to reveal it. What part of “secret identity” did you not understand? Only four people in the world know it, and two of those found out because I accidentally signed the wrong name on my communications with them!

It’s called Placid Point and it is a space station, packed to the gunwhales with computers, and inhabited by a huge number of uploaded human minds. It started life on Earth before moving into Earth orbit, then to solar orbit (at L1) and then around [...] May 26th, 2010 | Tags: Deep Fracture, ebooks, Emissaries, fiction, Last Christmas, Omega Point, Placid Point, portfolio, publication, publishing, sci-fi, science fiction, self-publishing, short stories, The Credulity Nexus, writing | Category: announcements | 6 comments Today, May 4th, is the second anniversary of the commencement of this blog.

If you want to know my taste in sci-fi, or if you’re interested in expanding your own collection, go and take a look. Find my favourite Science Fiction Masterpieces on my Amazon store.
