The Senior Editor's usual ravings about whatever…


Serialised stories and Long Fiction

A Change in the Weather
M. A. Taylor
There is a storm building in the upper atmosphere. There is a chance of alien showers, devastation and the possibility of a light giggle with strong gusts of splatter. Please stay indoors and, if possible, head for the hills. There will be no "Singing in the rain"...ever again!

Living in the Present

Communication through time may actually be only a few years away. This story offers a new solution to the time paradox: No coincidences, no tear in the fabric of space-time, and absolutely no parallel universes… Something else.

Aaron Beatty
While on his most challenging mission yet, Trevor is faced with an even more difficult decision involving a woman he thought he had lost forever.

A Study in Alizarin Crimson Part 2 of 2
Dan L. Hollifield
When Sherlock Holmes is hired to investigate a suspicious man who seems to be planning to burgle the British Museum, the trail of clews leads straight to the mysterious owner of the Mare Inebrium!
