I’ve got a new story out, yay! This one is in an anthology, Titanic Terastructures that can be found here<\/a>, that is a set of stories all in some way related to ginormous SF thingumies of a Ringworld stylee. I am very much looking forward to reading this and seeing what huge and wondrous ideas people have written of.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for my story, it is set in a place called The House which is a planet wide residence that has seen better days and is a ‘living in the ruins’ type of story. There may be quite a lot of dust but I hope you like it.<\/span><\/p>\n

By way of a wee taster, I’ve put up a piece of flash fiction that I wrote a few years back that was my first visit to The House. Ever since then the setting has stuck in my head and keeps nagging me to write things about it. I’ve had a few goes at short stories and this is the most successful. Saying that, the idea keeps nagging me so there might be more.<\/span><\/p>\n

The flash piece that created it all can be found here: The Oculus at the Edge of the Universe<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
