It's a collection of sc-fi/fantasy short stories of mine about the Norse Gods. Particularly Odin and Thor.

May be pertinent with the Thor 2011 movie coming up.

Anyways it's a free download from the Lulu site.

My new Novella "Soldier of the Brell" seems to be available on most e-readers/e-book sites now.

Including Amazon's kindle, Sony's e-reader, and Barnes & Noble's Nook. Also on sites like "Books on Board" and E-book networking"

Here's a couple more links: [url]http://www.amazon.com/Soldier-of-the-Brell-ebook/dp/B003XF1HJW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&m=A24IB90LPZJ0BS&s=digital-text&qid=1280200074&sr=1-1[/url]

It's available as an E-book download to a PC from the Xlibris site: [url]www.xlibris.com/SoldieroftheBrell.html[/url]

I understand it will be available through E-readers such as the IPAD and Amazon's Kindle in 4-6 weeks.

I've decided to make it available through the Xlibris publisher.

As an e-book download to a PC but also on a variety of E-readers such as IPAD, Amazon's Kindle, the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble's Nook, Books on Board, and Scribd.

Here's a brief description:

After the destruction of the home worlds of the super power empire of the Brell, a lone Brell soldier travels into the future in search of revenge. Carrying with him custodianship of all ...

I finally got the publisher of my first book to put an Author video trailer up on YOU TUBE.

Over the past few years I've written quite a lot of Marvel fan fiction on the fan fiction net site.

Including short stories relating to Thor, Odin, Galactus, the Hulk, the Silver Surfer, Captain America and other Marvel icons.

If anyone is interested, here is the link:

Just scroll down below my author profile to find, currently, over 40 short stories here.

I've just finished writing a science fiction novella I've been working on entitled "Soldier of the Brell"

Not to be confused with an unfinished short story of the same name that I currently have on this site (and will change). Which is quite different.

I'm looking to get a decent publisher for it and have sample chapters with 2 lwell known literary agents now.

However, if there is no interest, I will in due course self-publish.

Sam Christopher of Axioms Edge just reviewed my second science fiction book: "Essential Reading in Science Fiction"

This should be the link:

Or you can just go on to the Axioms Edge site for the Monday 15 March edition.

Sam also reviewed my first book and seems to be a very fair man.

I've just had a flash fiction story published in the February edition of Antipodean SF.

This should be the link:

Do you know the site? - an Aussie/NZ site that will accept stories from others. The non current issues go into the Australian National Library archives.

Cheers

This should be the link:

I am self publishing through Amazon Createspace and have been very happy with them.

I signed off on the print proof copy yesterday and they say 15 working days before it is fully on Amazon.

Will provide a bit more detail and links later.

Cheers

It will be another (though larger) collection of science fiction short stories. Through their self-publishing arm.

That said I've decided it's time for something a little longer and I have launched into writing a sci-fi novella.

By the way - a flash fiction story of mine - an edited version of "Surprise Attack" is slated to appear in the February edition of the Aussie on line magazine "Antipodean SF"

Cheers

Just putting the finishing touches to a second science fiction manuscript.

I'm thinking of using the self publishing facility available through Amazon.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

The link should be:

In a nutshell his main criticism was that the stories were too short. He would like to have seen them fleshed out.

Though otherwise he seemed to enjoy the stories.
