I made some progress in my first edit pass of A Darkling Nine. I’ve made it through 48 pages–not a particularly large number of pages, but progress nevertheless. Other obligations, particularly with my teaching gig at the community college interfered with the edits, but most of that was one-shot. I… Continue reading
I added blog subscriptions a few weeks ago in order to allow people to receive posts by email. Alas, I’m seeing nothing but fake email addresses with asdgvabt42 type names, many from a known spamming domain.

For somebody unfamiliar with the work of Luc Reid, how would you describe your fiction and which story do you think is the best introduction to your… Continue reading
