Story Timeline

FANTASY STORIES
As dates are not generally provided in the stories published and posted so far, it seemed like an idea to create a running timeline to place the events in historical order as they occur. All my fantasy stories take place in the same world so this might put things in some perspective.

Most of the flashfiction pieces have not been placed on the running timeline, leaving a little mystery to their moment in time, and needless to say, the complete list contains many more stories either in progress or yet to be published. (I will update as necessary)

FC = First Calendar [the first calendar of men, still followed by some ancient races]

KE = Kestrian Empire Calendar [time kept in accordance with the duration of the Empire]

NK = New Kestrian Calendar [time kept, primarily within the Kestrian Continent after the fall of the Empire]

SCIENCE FICTION STORIES 

Taking place in an alternate history future that branches off from about 1969/1970, the science fiction stories explore a storyverse in which space exploration and expansion rode on the back of the moon landing.

100 stories published

So about 7 or 8 stories ago, I passed a benchmark without noticing. The gaps between call, submissions, and publication vary by some dramatically huge margins, so it would require quite the audit to name the precise one that made it over the line (also some of those are flash/micro fiction but many of those are also recorded in groups/batches as just one so hard to pin down). OVER 100 STORIES PUBLISHED First story published in late 2020. So it's been a busy four or five years. I'm not making a living off this yet and maybe I never will. But that's a nice benchmark to cross. I don't update this site often, and I need to populate the timeline/genre page. I will soon, maybe throw up some maps for the fantasy side of things. At least I have the excuse of clearly being very busy. I'll pat myself on the back there.

Shorts for next year

 Delayed update...  Four more stories of mine have been accepted for publication in anthologies due out early next year: -'Beyond the Ensuite' a short horror piece for 'Manor of Frights' from Horror addicts -'Twin Temptation' a fantasy piece for 'Depths of love: My Enemy' from Cloaked Press and SFWG -'Under a Broken Moon' a fantasy novella for ' Beastly Tales' from Dragon Soul Press -'Blue Monday' a sci-fi short for 'Union' from Dragon Soul Press Pounding the keyboard hard to get more stories out, then hopefully focusing on a couple novels in the later half of this month and most of January. 

2022 - Year in Review

  A challenging year, but I'm proud of the work I managed to create. On the publishing front I saw my work appear in fifteen published anthologies. That's one more than last year, which is actually more impressive than it sounds because for the last seven months of this year I also took a day job (because, as fun as it's been to write full time, it's not generating a liveable income just yet – I need to get some full books out there). Casual day work (mostly at night), but that's still anywhere between twelve and fifty hours a week not in front of a computer. Instead standing on my feet, destroying my arches, and making it hard to sit at a computer to write, needing days to recover from the pain. So, with limited time, I still got done what I did, and I'm proud of that. I'm still pumping out short stories because it helps flesh out my worlds. With each new short, I discover something new about that world. It's a journey of discovery. With each new stor...
