There's nothing quite like receiving a contributor's copy...
Needless to say, I'm delighted to see my name on the cover. "Sleepless" is my 64th published short story. Big thanks go to editors Gene Rowe and Rick Danforth for selecting it for publication.

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. https://www.amazon.com/Growers-Best-New-Myths-Anthology-ebook/dp/B0F63YZMW4
My thanks go to Scott T. Barnes and the New Myths team for making this possible.

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! https://www.amazon.co.uk/ROADS-LESS.../dp/B0D6C3DSZX/
