CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

Hey all Finally released, and available from CreateSpace eStore. This year’s anthology consists of all the short stories and poems that I created, or discovered in my files and rewrote in 2013, regardless of whether or not they were released. The tales are taken from completed anthologies, and anthologies to come, from my blog, and from my notebooks. Most are published, but some are not. This year’s anthology is two volumes long. I have divided them up chronologically, according to when the stories were first created and completed. This is the first volume, and it covers work from 1988 to 2012 and is a mix of poetry, flash fiction and short stories.

Work was achieved in December 2014, despite my son having surgery on a lung collapsing for the second time, and me not being very well post-resignation and post second semester. Still, I don’t think I can complain about this lot.   Overview New words produced: 2,360 Old words revised: 12,161 Works completed: 0 Works revised: 0 Covers created: 3 Works published: 1 (one additional platform) Works submitted: 0 Competitions Entered: 0 Bloggery: 0 Tier 1 Tasks AcademicEssay3— Basofi’s Choice : selected and downloaded cover images and created cover.

I only got a little reading done in December, but my thanks to Wilbur Smith and Alan Dean Foster for providing some of my most favourite tales.

So, I did get a little blog reading done in December. Most of it was read on New Year's Eve as a break to writing in the New Year. These are the ones I read to the very end. Enjoy.
