My partner S.A. Rennie's contributor's copy of The Ghosts & Scholars Book of Follies and Grottoes has arrived, containing her story of music and cosmic horror And Music Shall Untune the Sky, inspired loosely by Gopsall Temple, the folly where Handel reputedly composed Messiah.

Out now and available from Amazon in paperback and ebook - The Shadow of Achilles, where a young Trojan prince is captured by the mightiest of Greek heroes, but vows to escape and return to Troy. Even though that means that once more he will fall under the shadow of Achilles…

Resurfacing briefly to let you know that my old friend Colin's book is now available on Amazon. This is the manuscript that hooked him a literary agent (from a proper fancy Bloomsbury agency!) but unfortunately didn't quite work out. I'm excited for people to discover it at last.

Congratulations to Donna Scott! So pleased to have contributed a tiny bit to this with my short story “Call of the Void”, which Donna included in the anthology.

If you fancy voting for the anthology in the awards poll, that would be nice, too...

Extremely pleased that the Best of British Science Fiction 2022 (ed. Donna Scott) is on the Locus recommended reading list for 2023, as my story Call of the Void, which was originally published by Space Cat Press, is included in the anthology.

My Latin was good enough to get “crab eater”, “flat face”, and “snowy” from the “surnames” but it took Google to get the full story of: crabeater seal; southern bottlenose whale; and snow petrel.

@authorbear2 @SpaceCatPress Definitely. They’re just so good at bringing out the potential in a story.

[John K. Fulton @johnkfulton]

I’m glad to have another story in a @SpaceCatPress anthology. It’s a real pleasure working with Siobhan and Darragh to edit my stories into shape, and I’m happy with how Icewood turned out.

It's publication day for Bark & Bone from @SpaceCatPress featuring my sci-fi story "Icewood", set in the forests at the bottom of the ocean beneath the icy crust of Jupiter's moon Europa. The ebook is available now, with the printed edition coming soon.

Oh wow - and there it is. There's only one thing better than seeing your new book baby in a bookshop... and that's seeing it on a table. 🥰

Thank you to the magnificent @johnkfulton for another wonderful review and this super snap! 🙏

[John K. Fulton @johnkfulton]

Back from our trip north of the wall (not a moment too soon based on the red weather warnings 😱). Holiday reading was the splendid Finding Treasure Island, of which there was also a large stack on a table in @WstonesDundee - here's my review: https://t.co/VGP9WT3QGk

The first all-woman spacewalk took place #OTD in 2019.

@Johnkfulton's CALL OF THE VOID follows a NASA astronaut aboard ISS as she goes out on a seemingly routine spacewalk and has an unexpected encounter.
