Progress, September 2019





I’m unsure if I have anything coming out this month, though the next Aurealis won’t be far away. What is worth blogging are two new placements during the first half of September which bring me to 82 overall.

First, my fantasy short The Demonologist of Kraith   was picked up on the 10th by the anthology series Fall Into Fantasy 2019, my second story with this stable (the first was One Shot Kill with their companion title Spring into SciFi 2018, early last year). Kraith is another of my “Avestium” tales, the fourth to be published so far.

Then on the 13th, my SF piece Rats was accepted by the other big Australian magazine Andromeda Spaceways, my second appearance with them. Rats is part of my cycle of stories detailing the descent of the world into non-inhabitability a hundred years from now.

Also of interest, my volume of submissions is greater than at any previous time, with my record for total number of submissions in play having twice reached 99. I was unable to find that extra submission to round it up to 100, no matter how hard I mined my material, though. I’m currently on 95, with new material in preparation.

Cheers, Mike Adamson
