And Now For Something Different
Posted by on June 25, 2015
For the next four Wednesdays, I will be posting up something a little different than the current selection of stories. Each post will be a short story of between one to two thousand words that form the The Cahuac Cycle. In time there will be more stories in the collection, though they are as of yet not written.
These are fantasy, but not your typical fantasy – they are mythic fantasy from the dawn of time, tales from a people called the Aracan about their greatest ancestor-hero, Cahuac, his adventures and how the world came to be as it is.
The first four stories are Cahuac and the Sun, The Bowl of Storms, Cahuac and the Bees and Wolf and the Stars
May is Short Story Month
Posted by on May 9, 2015
I recently found out that we are in Short Story Month. As a short fiction writer, this piqued my interest. It seems to have been declared back in 2013, so it is a new happening. It isn’t a big event yet, with world wide coverage and sponsorship and the like, but it is one I hope can go from strength to strength.
As it is Short Story Month, and I write short stories (and novelettes and novellas), I plan to get involved. Well, more than I already do with my thrice weekly updates. I will have to consider some way to properly mark the month.
The Road Ahead

The site is slowly coming together and with the first story posted, it is time to plan for what is to come next.
I am planning to have a schedule of posting three times a week with new stories or chapters of stories given the length of many of them. Each post will be around 1000 words, give or take depending on what is happening in the story. That schedule should be Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Normally that will be done in Australian time.
I do plan for Monday and Saturday to be for short stories, while Wednesday will be for an ongoing serial at some point, though as to what it will be and when it will start, that is not yet certain.
For the time I will be starting off with The Chronicles of the White Bull, starting with The Pit. This collection is a series of 8 stories recounting the journeys of Nhaqosa the Minotaur through a dying world.
