My short story ‘The Household Debt’ is among the many tales of fantasy, horror and science-fiction in the latest Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine. Editor Simon Petrie kindly namechecks my piece in his blog post intro­ducing the issue, aptly describing it as a ‘cheeky fusion of fae and suburbia’. It’s also my first full-length specu­lative fiction story sale.

If you’re not aware of it, ASIM is edited by a cooper­ative whose members (many of whom are celeb­rated genre authors in their own right) take turns to oversee the selection of stories for an individual issue. It’s one of the (if not the) most regular print outlets for genre fiction in Australia, publishing local and inter­na­tional authors, and I’m thrilled that my story has found a home within its pages.

I haven’t had a chance to read issue 51 cover to cover, but so far I’ve been very impressed by fellow newcomer Robin Shortt’s ‘Bonsai’, and am looking forward to reading the Keith Stevenson and Thoraiya Dyer pieces.

And if I may be so crass, print ($12.95) and PDF ($4.95) copies of ASIM 51 can be purchased at andromedaspaceways.com.
