StarShipSofa Stories · Volume 3

This isn't a review but, rather, a notice that this book exists. My story "Little Girl Down the Way (from HELL IN THE HEARTLAND) is in it. The book is a compilation of 15 stories the editors of the British audio site, STARSHIPSOFA.COM decided are the best from the series' first two years. It's recommended for all fans of science fiction, fantasy horror.

Obviously, I'm thrilled to be one among this group of writers. Of the 15 stories represented here, I did the narration on four of them. As an added treat, Tony C. Smith, SSS editor/founder has asked me to do a novella the StarShip will publish as a stand-alone book in late 2009, the proceeds for which will go to Spider Jeanne Robinson. The novella-in-progress--scheduled for about 10-12,000 words--is inspired by the SSS Stories cover illustration by Skeet Scienski.
