Basofi's Choosing
There comes a time when a young person has to decide
which path they’re going to take. There comes a time when conflicting tides of
family influence break against the shores of the future and the first step
towards independence must be taken. Basofi has reached that time, but will his
family support his decision, or will his choice tear them apart?
Basofi’s
Choosing is set in the same world and features
some of the characters from Palmyra’s Ridge.
365 Days of Poetry
Welcome to this gathering of poetry. It comes in a
variety of styles and genres, and is arranged in no particular order save that
there is one poem for each day. I have played with traditional forms such as
the cinquain and englyn, and worked with free-form verse and rhyme. I have
written about the world around me, and about worlds that probably don’t exist.
I have tried to write poetry from the perspective of someone in the distant
future writing about a new world, and I have written poetry with fantasy
themes. Welcome to the worlds in my head.
365 Days of Flash Fiction
Science fiction, fantasy, dark fantasy, speculative
fiction and a touch of horror, this collection plays with just about every
genre I could lay my hands on. In it, I explore new worlds, new settings and
some ideas that just needed to be gotten out of my head. If short stories are
your thing, and the shorter the better, there are a bunch of them to be found
in this collection. Go ahead and take a look.
C.M. Simpson: Short Stories and Poems from 2013, Volume 2: The Year Just Gone (2013)
Last year’s anthology consisted only of the short
stories and poems published in 2012. This year’s anthology consists of all the
short stories and poems that I created, edited or rewrote in 2013, regardless
of whether or not they have been released. The tales are taken from completed
anthologies, and anthologies yet to come, from my blog, and from my notebooks.
Most are published as stand-alone stories, but some are yet to be published.
Also, where last year’s anthology was a single volume,
this year’s anthology is two volumes long. I have divided them up
chronologically, according to when the stories were first created and
completed. This is the second volume, and it covers work completed or released
in 2013. It consists of a mix of poetry, flash fiction and short stories.
