Escape Velocity: the Anthology

It’s coming soon. I’ve been kept busy reading hundreds of excellent science fiction short stories for months and at the eleventh hour this weekend came more. Writers have spurned family outings to hone their tales of wonder and hidden dimensions to slip them under my nose. Just in the last few days I’ve had my imagination spun by Jon Pinnock, Catherine Edmunds, Mark Iles and Roy Gray. All the stories and one cartoon and a poem are now in. There are 40 pieces from over 30 contributors – it is a hell of a starry brilliant read. Watch this space.

Illustration is from the first issue of Escape Velocity – probably we’ll use the same image for the anthology. Olympus Mons on Mars.

Also hoping to make a million – all right, a few bob – from the ebook of my Escaping Reality humorous thriller. Less than 2 dollars at Smashwords here.  I’ve seen blogs and articles about how Amanda Hocking has sold hundreds of thousands of her bloody fantasy books. “They are no where near as fun to read as Nelder’s Escaping Reality.” Quote from a drunken friend – yes, I bought her the drinks.

Back to my little world of writing – must get the third book of my Left Luggage trilogy done. I can’t wait to see how it ends.

Smashing

And there’s me thinking that after all the hype relating to Smashwords that the ebook of my humorous thriller, Escaping Reality, is doing well, my publisher says the ebook there has sold ONE copy today! Laugh or cry? Haha. Over the years around 2,000 copies of the paper version has sold, so we were trying the ebook as an experiment at less than a couple of pounds (or 1.99 USD). If you have a Kindle or Sony e-reader than why not try it? ER on Smashwords
Information on the story is here.

I’ve just read the comments so thanks, Paul (Hodgy) for the sale! It tickles me in the nicest way to think of my words being read way up in the tea plantations in Thailand – excellent!
My publisher has discovered more Escaping Reality sales via Smashwords. Apparently he only receives email notifications after Smashwords get their money and some sellers are tardy in that respect. So as of this morning that’s 8 sales!

Smashing words
