(Okay, there's probably a better way to celebrate, but this is a blog and not an orgy!)
Now for the wonderful flash fiction, written under duress in five minutes on a Sunday morning at DetCon1...
Writing prompts: Two old friends, a mistake, an
airlock
“No, you did not just do
that!”
Bob scowled at his dear old friend
Bill. Yeah, Bill was getting forgetful, but he hadn’t slipped into
Alzheimer’s quite yet.
“I did. He deserved it, Bob. You
heard what he said about the Sixth Doctor. That man deserved
to die.”
“But Bill—come on! It was just a
flippant remark about a centuries’ old sci-fi TV show... It wasn’t
worth it.”
“Yes, it was!" Bill stood proudly.
“The entire Doctor Who fandom was at stake. It had to be done.”
“Oh, all right.” Bob sighed. “What
do we tell the captain then?”
“We just say Rick stepped out for a
breath of fresh air.”
“Fresh air?” Bob smacked his
forehead. “Through an airlock? On a space station in
geosynchronous orbit around Earth?” He thought for a moment. “Well,
all right.”
I'll be posting news about a couple of book contracts I recently lined-up very soon!
And before I forget, the very first title in The Time Surfer series is now available fro eXtasy Books--Playing with the Past
