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.
