Pillars of Creation

Foreword

I'm not a very productive writer. It's not that I don't like writing; it's just that real life has this awful habit of getting in the way. That and my method of writing is not particularly fast. However, there are a few things that I go out of my way to make sure that I set time aside for writing. One of these is the Weekend Write-In - a group of dedicated flash fiction writers. For that, every week I write a short story of 500 words in response to a one-word prompt.

The other writing project that I have been busy with is the Tevun-Kruss webzine. This is an monthly anthology magazine of science fiction stories run by the Ooorah! profile. Each issue is supposedly based around a theme - but, if you know me, you'll know how happily I can twist a theme to what I want it to be.

Over the last year, I have contributed stories to Tevun-Kruss. And, for some reason only known to themselves, the Tevun-Kruss editorial team have put up with my shenanigans. These stories have not been seen anywhere else -until now. Now I am bringing these stories back to my profile.

I hope you enjoy them. And, if you do, I would recommend you check out the Ooorah! profile.
