TBH I had a lot of fun writing this. Quotes from Doctor Who “Are you interested in lepidoptera at all?” Always one for the obscure! And weaving in ASIO and ASIS as well as playing around with genetics… Yeah, it’s a weird one. I’ve also snuck it in as an Easter egg in Hoganthology, so anyone who gets that now will have a surprise at the end. Then again, maybe they’ll have a disappointment at the end. I hope not!
Stellar Flash IV is so far behind schedule that I don’t think I can catch up to my projected release of May 2020. I’ll do my best, but so many crazy things have happened in 2019 that I’m tempted to take 2020 off and just retreat from the world for awhile. We’ll see.
In other news, it had been a half-a-life-long dream to release Hoganthology. And now that it is out there, I thought a collection might be eligible for a Hugo Award nomination. Nope. No collections are accepted. So, if you’re a member or supporting member of CoNZealand and wish to nominate Hoganthology, maybe nominate Temporal Incursion instead? Or even one of the Science Fiction Weekly Short Stories released in 2019 that are in it?
You read something better? Oh. Okay. Fair enough. Let me know the title in the comments and I’ll check it out.
Of Moths and Men is available in digital format from Amazon
Fanged moths, enlarged animals, and now something was affecting his team of lepidopterists. With an Australian government department involved, and attacks on the rise, Bruce is tasked with finding a cure to whatever climate change has brought the world this time.
But can he reverse the effects of something that had previously been dormant for over 13,000 years?
