Some odds and ends

My friend Justine's novel Advice for Strays now has a cover and is available for pre-order on Amazon. I'm very excited as I've been waiting to read this for ages.
Drew Gummerson had a contest for 50-word stories about the moon and has posted some of the entries on his blog. One of them is mine.
Speaking of Mr. Gummerson, ages ago I meant to post a link to his story When the Chips are Down. Go read it!
A Surprisingly Common Omission is a great 'drabble' by David Langford which he acknowledges may have been too subtle for its own good.
One of my favourite short story collections is Kelly Link's Magic For Beginners. Much of this is now available for free download. Stone Animals
is a fantastic spooky story but the highlight for me is the story Some
Zombie Contingency Plans. It's not 'about' zombies – it's more
wonderful and subtle than that. "It turned out that everyone in the prison had a zombie contingency plan, once
you asked them, just like everyone in prison had a prison escape plan, only
nobody talked about those."
