In my writing journey I have now reached the SF/Fantasy
professional borderlands, as my first
paid sale has just appeared in a print anthology, Different Dragons. The story
is a present day hard SF tale set in Antarctica, and so somewhat of a contrast
to many of the other stories you will find in the anthology which is rich in
variety. As the title suggests the editor encouraged dragon stories which move
away from the traditional fantasy tropes. I think its a great idea, but “the proof of the
pudding is in the eating”, and I’m too close to the project to make that
judgment
My story was inspired by Lake Vostok, the huge lake hidden two miles under the Antarctic Ice sheet.
It’s unusual for me as its the first story I have written to
a specific “call” and subject. There is the possiblity of a sequel if it is well received…
