Here's a photo of my contributor's copy of The Growers, all 390+ pages of it. That's a lot of excellent themed fiction and poetry in one volume, including my short story Wheat Futures.
My thanks go to Scott T. Barnes and the New Myths team for making this possible. www.amazon.com/Growers-Best...
The cover of my personal copy of The Growers, an anthology of futuristic farming fiction. It depicts a pair of mainly white robot hands inspecting the leaves of a small plant, against a background of soil and dead leaves. The book has been placed on a wooden desktop.

The photo below shows the printed version (in French) of my short story "Those We Leave Behind" in Galaxies #89.
Paperback edition of Galaxies magazine issue 89, which is open at the first two pages of Pierre Gevart's French translation of my SF short story, Those We Leave Behind. Behind and above it, the cover of the magazine, showing the title, peeks over the to of the pages.

One of the pleasures of being a published author is receiving your work in printed form. Issue 1 of Roads Less Travelled, which includes my science fantasy story Growing Up, is a handsome piece of work by editor/publisher Trevor Denyer. Please buy it! www.amazon.co.uk/ROADS-LESS.....
The cover of issue 1 of Roads Less Travelled magazine. A road stretches towards the horizon, escorted by a line of telegraph poles. A pair of eyes look out of the cover towards the viewer. The image has the sketchy quality of a half-remembered dream. Spooky!

"What a wonderful and inspiring alternative to the so-called 'world-building' of today's science fiction industry. Here are some real lessons on how to speculate in ways that may actually open new potentials for human flourishing." Douglas Rushkoff. (Easter launch at Levitation 2024. A story by me!)
Cover for All Tomorrow's Futures anthology (from Cybersalon). Edited by Benjamin Greenaway and Stephen Oram. People standing on a virtual sky-walk in a VR cityscape interacting with a network of screen-like images and 3D icons. Overhead, meteors flash across a starry night sky. Table of contents for All Tomorrow's Futures anthology.

I enjoyed a small but perfectly formed "published writer" moment while attending the Missing Believed Wiped event at the British Film Institute yesterday . One row in front of me a man sat reading this book, which has my name on the cover. 😀
(No photo of the reader. That would have been rude.)
Cover of Best of British Science Fiction 2022, edited by Donna Scott. Depicts a wintry view of London, with iced-up river Thames, and a supernova in a starry sky. My name is one of those listed on the cover.
