A Year in Stories, 2015 Edition

by Robert J. McCarter on in fiction
Last year, I did a roundup of 2014 writing-wise and what stories had come out. I wanted to do another one around the first of they year, but January has just gotten away from me. So, better late than never, here's what stories came out in 2015: December This isn't about a released story, but it is worth noting: I was a finalist in the Writers of the Future contest. Very excited to almost win this contest, something I've been working towards for 5+ years. October Life After: Stories of Life, Death, and the Places in Between came out. This is a collection of short stories that go very well, thematically speaking, with my ghost novels (there is even a brand new ghost story in it). Start Reading Learn More “Laura’s Magic Clock" appeared in A Game of Horns: A Purple Unicorn Anthology. This is the second year in a row I landed in one of these unicorn anthologies, and I do love this story (and proceeds go to a good cause). Go get it! Learn More. July Two of my short stories (“Death by Starlight” and “The Last Flight of the Acurus”) were featured on StarShipSofa podcast, episode #394. These are both stories of survival in space, old fashioned sci-fi with a bit of a twist. Acurus was my first sale and appeared in Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine, Issue #58. Starlight is a piece of flash fiction inspired by Acurus and appeared in Every Day Fiction. The narration is beautifully done by Katerine Inskip. Go take a listen now! January NM-LG-Season-1
