CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

On Thursday, I completed an urban fantasy short story for release in October 2018. It involves, trolls rival clans of elves, vengeful unicorns, and an officer from the P.O.S—and ended up being a tale about one of the adventures Harper had prior to what happened in the short story, Harper’s Choice . I haven’t thought of a title for it, but I’ll think of one during the editing process. The basic cover idea is as follows, but it needs a background, and a blurb.

On Tuesday, I completed River's Edge , the short story slated for release in August. I wrote it using a technique Dean Wesley Smith calls ‘writing into the dark’ —which means I had no idea what kind of story I was writing, when I started. This one ended being mostly science fiction, with a hint of fantasy thrown in, and a dash of first contact and crash colony, and it took a little bit to write, but wound out to 5,839 words long.
