"Dr. Dashwood was intrigued. He began thinking of topological transformations, non-Euclidean geometrics, Wheeler's wormholes in superspace...but then he realized he was Romanticizing..."    -- Robert Anton Wilson, "Schrodinger's Cat"

"Somewhere around the place, I've got a short story about Schrodinger's Dog; it was mostly moaning about all the attention the cat was getting."  -- Terry Pratchett

SCIENCE FICTION AND HORROR

A new feature debuted in the June 1999 issue - look for the Author Interview (in the archives now) with...me!

Look in APHELION for the chronicles of the NIGHTWATCH INSTITUTE for Strategic & Economic Studies - and see what a handful of Aphelion's writers have wrought. Look for my own stories:

CARDENIO  October 2005  DEATH VALLEY  July  2006

This riveting adventure series will have you glued to your monitor!

Titan  Chad Cottle, Jody Speight and Steve Johnson did an excellent job editing this ezine...Unfortunately it has folded and there are no archives. I will negotiate with the fine editors at Aphelion to see if they will reprint any of these.

Origins (along with a discussion of the city of Great Zimbabwe)
Mare Tranquillitatis
After the Fall Comes Winter
Neighborhood Cleanup
Yoon, inspired by an original idea by the real Dr. Doug Yoon of UCLA.

My story, "Neighborhood Clean Up" was voted one of the top three stories in Titan's first year of publication! It appeared in the special Anniversary Edition of Titan August 1998. Thank you, readers and editors, for your votes and support.

The Spiral Sea  Jack Egan's eclectic ezine was only out for one issue – but a beaut it was. I sincerely hope the rather generous amount he paid me for the cover story did not contribute to this 'zine's untimely demise!

The Spiral Seas  

PlanetMagazine Be prepared for laughs from Andrew McCann, the editor of this fine ezine!

A Matter of Time  (reprinted in Aphelion issue 42)

SpaceWaysWeekly- Outstanding Canadian science fiction weekly magazine!

Ova and Out

was in the May 1998 issue (#36) edited by Rigel Chiokis.
