There, now at least the first post won’t be sitting on its own for ever.

I’ve spent the last few days working on my website, which I hope to get up and running in the next few weeks - it’s going to feature details of my short stories, some of the better reviews that I’ve done over the years for Matrix and Vector and a couple of other bits and pieces. Nothing overly flash (or even slightly Flash) but I think it’s coming together nicely. Now all I have to do is get my head round PHP.

I’ve just sold a story - “Be Aware” - to Forgotten Worlds, which I’m chuffed about. It’s a story set in pre-war Germany - there’s an element of alternate reality and an element of the fantastic but it is mostly a story about science and technology as much as it is narrowly a science fiction story (though I would and do argue it is sf) so I’m delighted that the editors have taken a chance with it - I know they spent a great deal of time thinking about it. The magazine has just shifted from monthly to quarterly production so “Be Aware” won’t be published until September, but that’s cool too.
