I'm now publishing a series of short stories of speculative and science fiction. One of the stories "Project Bio-Armor" was first published in the anthology "Tales of the Marvelous Machine: 35 stories of Computing", edited by Robert Taylor and Berchenal Green (editor of Creative Computing Magazine). This anthology enjoyed a pre-sell to the subscribers of Creative Computing Magazine of 500,000 copies before it was published, and sold quite well. Frederick Pohl was among the contributors. The stories in that collection (all with computer related themes) were written before computers were in homes, and before there was such a thing as the Internet. Yet, they resonate as cautionary tales today as finely as they did when they were first published. I counted myself fortunate to be published in this collection for two reasons: the story I wrote was the first I ever sold to a magazine (not dreaming it would be selected for inclusion in their anothology) and secondly, it was first short story, the fist story of any kind that I had ever written! I thought, This is easy... It was two years before I sold another piece of fiction! 1 Comment | Just $0.99 Cents
