About Strandline

Strandline is a web serial and possibly a novel about the new subspecies Homo sapiens nictans. Why am I not sure if it’s a novel? Because I’m writing this sucker by the seat of my pants and looking to you for direction. It may end up as a novella or three, or a series of short stories.

New episodes are posted every week or so. You can get updates by email or by RSS. Visit http://strandlineseries.com for details.

If you’d like to see more of a particular character, let me know! Have a wacky idea that will probably throw me for a loop? Tell me, please. You never know what wonderful tangents might be explored. Pick your way to reach me at http://strandlineseries.com/contact/

Episode 0: Sixth of November

Strandline had its beginnings earlier this year, when I wrote a short story for Ergofiction‘s new anthology Other Sides. My contribution, “Sixth of November,” is effectively a prequel to the first Strandline episode. So if you’d like to see how just how bad of a day Kristin had, download a free copy in PDF or ePub from the Other Sides site, http://www.ergofiction.com/ebooks/ . Reviews and details about the Kindle and print editions are also available.

Here’s the book’s blurb.

The advent of digital publishing has seen the rise of a new breed of writers: independent, experimental and unfettered by convention. This brand new anthology features a small sampling of these very writers, in a speculative fiction collection that will capture the imagination and dazzle the senses. The storytelling genius in this collection is most evidenced by its memorable characters: a young woman haunted by her ex-boyfriend’s sweater, time travelers with a suspicious interest in babies, a gender-changing alien desperate to heal a loved one… In these stories, fourteen independent authors display the imagination, insight and wonderful originality that characterizes the unique world of online fiction.
