My 2018 Publications

It’s that time of year, when people’s thoughts turn to award nominations! Here’s my annual post rounding up the things I wrote that were published this year.

2018 was busy: I have eligible fiction in the novel, novella, game and short story categories. I also published some non-fiction in 2018, which I’ve listed at the bottom of the post.

I expect to have one more short story come out just before the end of the year; I’ll update this post to add it at the end of December.

Novel

Armed in Her Fashion, published by ChiZine Publications in May 2018. A historical fantasy set in 14th century Flanders. 90,000 words. My debut novel.

Novella

Alice Payne Arrives, published by Tor.com Publishing in November 2018. A science fiction adventure about a highwaywoman in 18th century England who gets tangled up in a time war. 29,000 words.

Game

The Road to Canterbury, published by Choice of Games in April 2018. Interactive historical fiction based on the Canterbury Tales. (Note: The overall story is not speculative fiction, but there is speculative fiction in the pilgrims’ tales and in the tale the player can develop, so I suppose that counts, for spec-fic awards.) 178,000 words.
