• Glass Future: Would you still get married if you knew it would end in divorce?

• Captain Clone: If you’re not real, you can do anything. 

• Speed of Love: What’s it really like to date an alien? 

Four enthralling short stories. Take a break from your day to visit the future, hours away and lightyears gone in your imagination. The future is closer than you think.

Unexpectedly Enjoying Marketing

I didn't expect to, but I'm rather enjoying learning about marketing for self publishing.  There are so many interesting sites to sign up to. All of them seem to have free options.

 

I do like learning about new things in general. And marketing seems to be like a puzzle. If I do this, what happens? Not much. But, what if I rotate it 90 degrees? Still, not much. But you get the idea that there's potential. I'm working on my newsletter magnet at the mo. 

Write in the morning, and then do a dab of marketing in the after. I might even be marketing at very moment.

 

My questions are thus: marketing, do you like it? And, what have you found that moves the needle the most?

Welcome to the World of Tomorrow

Hello there. I'm glad you found me. 

As we're in lockdown, I've been quite busy this last couple of months. Busy working and publishing. And walking. Quite a lot of walking. 

Here is a list of all my recently published short stories and collections. Future Tales have four scifi stories. They can be read in 1-2 hours. At the moment everything is  exclusive to Amazon. 

As I'm a new self publisher, I'm mad for reviews. Apparently they're the bee's knees and the cat's pyjamas. I've got one already, from someone I don't know. That made me very happy. So if you read a story, do consider leaving me a review. And if you want a free copy for review -- just ask. 

 

  

I love to hear from my readers. Say hello here. Where are you from? I'm in London. Which cover do you like best? And if you fancy, you can join my newsletter to connect with me, hear more about me and and recieve free stories. Sign up here. 

 

Free Book 12-16th February

Hello everyone, if you're reading this 12-16th Feb 2021 you can download Future Tales 2103 for free on Amazon. 

Here's the blurb:

In the future, Deborah Walker takes you to familiar places with unfamiliar realities with these four short stories.

Fitting in is hard to do when you’re in a new place, especially when you’re in another galaxy. Discarded wife Ruth AI longs to make her husband love her again. A soldier left in the trenches on an alien world will need to undertake a metaphysical journey, with the help of Laurel and Hardy. And Hell has no fury than a woman scorned, so for pity's sake, don’t let her near your genome.

Four enthralling short stories. Take an hour or two to visit the future, minutes away and lightyears gone in your imagination. The future is closer than you think.

A collection of four short stories published on Kindle. Free to Kindle Unlimited users and $2.99 otherwise. Amazon  

Edited to say. I've changed the cover. Even though this contains some of my favourite short stories, it was selling the worst. So, I've changed the cover and got a few more sales already. 

New story up at Nature's Futures. Free to read for everyone This is my favourite venue. I love flash fiction.

Got a new old story 'The Frozen Hive of her Mind' up on my Patreon. Free for everyone to read. I hope you like it. 

Are you a fan of flash fiction?

Samson in Somnium

I'm please to announce that my story 'Samson in Somnium' is available to read on Nature's Futures. Read it here. 

Nature's Futures Story: 'Without Access'

I am thrilled to have my story 'Without Access' published in Nature's Futures this week. You can check out the story here, and check out the story behind the story here.

'Sibyl' in Catalonia

I'm very pleased to see my story 'Sibyl' published in Catalan translation in Catarsi 

For English readers you can read the story at Nature's Futures here. And yesterday, I sold another story to Nature's Futures. That's the kind of coincidence I like.

A Nature Dozen

So wonderful to report that I've had my 12th story published at Nature's Future. This is my favourite venue.

I really am very fond of flash. It can be a joy to right (it can also be like pulling tiny teeth, but let's gloss over that.)

You can read 'Contagion in Tranquil Shades of Grey' online, and in the back of Nature magazine. As a bonus, I get a years supply of Nature. So I'm looking forward to that.

Time Waits for No Woman

I've very pleased to announce my story 'Siby' will be appearing in 'Timeshift' with these fine folk:

I'm very thrilled to be front cover hobnobbing with Robert Silverberg,
