My Mom stands out as an important influencer in my journey as an author. Before her death from cancer in 2003, she was the original audience for my early fiction. Her encouragement, feedback, and love of my stories helped set me on the current path I’m traveling.
With that in mind, I plan to honor her birthday next week by publishing a new original short story here on Strange New Worlds. This one will be a little different from the previous ones because it will be my first reader’s choice story. That’s right. YOU will get to vote on what you read here next.
Cast your vote below to choose which original story you would like to read in this newsletter on August 17th. The poll will remain open through the weekend.
Here are plot teasers for each story in the poll:
Slime Monsters! centers on a group of Earth astronauts who discover a canister filled with a mysterious substance abandoned on a moon orbiting Neptune.
Talia’s Storm follows a grieving mermaid who seeks revenge against a pair of fishermen who murdered her mate.
Break the House centers on a desperate gambler who decides to risk it all at a local casino when he obtains a mystical coin.
Spread the word and encourage everyone you know to drop in and vote for what they would love to read. Come back here on August 17th to read the winning story.
They all sound uniquely interesting!! Can’t wait.
