My "Every Me Is Someone Else" about a telepathic Buddhist studies grad student connecting with his mom in hospice is just out in Diabolical Plots! Also features octopus mind-reading.

https://www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-103a-every-me-is-someone-else-by-andrew-dibble/

Thanks for sharing! Such an interesting idea for a story. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around it.

Andromeda Spaceways #92 contains my short story "All Hands" which is very much in the "ghost ship" vein.

Congrats! clapper  

 

And finally I understand why nothing of mine gets accepted - all the magazines are now full just with @angelslayah work! In all seriousness, I am in awe of the prolificness ? ?

Oh, very nice! You should post your acceptance on The Submission Grinder, responses for the poetry markets of both Asimov's and Analog are really slow and intermittent--it's nice to get any glimpse of life from those.

I officially join the ranks of self-published authors with the launch of my debut novella, One-Bullet Dilemma, an expanded version of a former WotF HM (and copyedited by a WotF winner, and cover art by an IotF winner). As a way to say "Thanks!" to this supportive community, I'm offering the eBook for free this coming Friday and Saturday, 11/24/23 and 11/25/23. I’m not advertising that event, but feel free to tell friends.

Plus, honest reviews help an author more than any marketing campaign. It doesn't matter if you found it a mediocre 3-star or a fantastic 5. The number of reviews matters more than the rating. Thanks, and happy Thanksgiving.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM5M4J7R/

 

Three prisoners. One bullet each. Last one alive goes free. What would you do?

In the near future, against the backdrop of a recent alien invasion, Mark, Willa, and Rasheed wake up in adjoining prison cells. Each has a gun with a single bullet.

These invaders are masters at psychological manipulation. Human divisions are the aliens' greatest weapon. Can Mark, Willa, and Rasheed overcome those differences, or will millions die with a single trigger pull?
