Luna Station Quarterly…

…which is a speculative fiction magazine…

…with a beautiful print edition…

…has published my story, Violent Silence.

And I couldn't be more delighted!

You can grab a copy of the magazine from Amazon, or from Weightless Books. You can also read it free online.

This is my first publication, the first time a piece of fiction I've written has gone through the whole process of submission, and selection, and been made into a typeset page which I can turn.

(I can't turn it yet, because the paper copy is still winging its way to me through the postal system. But I will! And there will be pictures, oh yes, there will be pictures.)

It makes me very happy that the publication will be Luna Station Quarterly, too. I've loved LSQ since I opened issue 29 and read How Lady Nightmare Stole Captain Alpha’s Girlfriend by Kristen Brand, and realised that here was a magazine that would print funny superhero stories, alongisde whimsical sci-fi, and gritty fantasy. And still manage a consistent feel for each issue. I subscribed on the spot, and I still love the variety of voices and viewpoints they publish.

I’m grateful to LSQ’s editorial staff for making it all happen, and for being so quick to answer newbie questions. I’m honoured to be appearing on their pages with all their amazing authors. I’m revelling in the idea that this might just mean I am a Real Writer.

But mostly I’m excited.
