My new story “Raise the Nautilus” is the closing story in the anthology 20,000 Leagues Remembered edited by Steven R. Southard and Kelly A. Harmon. This collection commemorates the 150th anniversary of the first publication of the classic Jules Verne novel. “Raise the Nautilus” is an alternate history set in 1916 about an attempt by the British Navy to salvage the Nautilus and retrieve an artefact that could turn the tide of the First World War.

Here is my contributor copy of 20,000 Leagues Remembered with the original Jules Verne novel on a map of The Mysterious Island. A hundred and fifty years of speculative fiction in one image. 

Analog Science Fiction and Fact traces its heritage back to Astounding Stories of Super-Science, the first issue of which appeared in January 1930. I am tremendously grateful to Trevor Quachri and Emily Hockaday for the privilege of having my story “The Greatest Day” in the 90th anniversary January/February 2020 issue of Analog alongside astounding tales by Harry Turtledove, Sarina Dorie, C. Stuart Hardwick, Sean McMullen, Jay Werkheiser, Ian Randal Strock, Douglas F. Dluzen, Izzy Wasserstein, Matthew Claxton, A.J. Ward, Wendy Nikel, Gregor Hartmann, Richard A. Lovett, Joel Richards, and Rachel Rodman.

An alternate history about the Space Shuttle Columbia accident, “The Greatest Day” is my fourth-plus-one appearance in Analog because the story is accompanied by a companion fact article in the same issue. For their 90th anniversary year, Analog has also launched a free podcast in which they feature one story from each new issue of the magazine. I am honoured to have been asked to read “The Greatest Day” as the first of these podcasts. You can listen to the podcast here.

Paul Fraser has posted a detailed review (with some spoilers) of the 90th anniversary issue. He gives “The Greatest Day” four stars, compares it favourably to Apollo 13 and The Martian, and says the story “would be in my Year’s Best”. 

Receiving contributor copies of a publication is a treat for any writer, but in the case of Re-Terrify: Horrifying Stories of Monsters and More edited by Kelly A. Harmon and Vonnie Winslow Crist and released by Pole to Pole Publishing, it was a surprise and delight to discover that my story “Túshūguăn” is the opening tale of the collection! Thank you to Kelly and Vonnie for the honour of being a part of this wonderfully scary anthology. Re-Terrify is available in paperback (Amazon, Barnes & Noble) and ebook (Amazon, !ndigo, Barnes & Noble, Kobo). “Túshūguăn” was first published in the Fall 2014 issue of Ricepaper magazine.
