My first ever short story got published today in Issue 172 of Aurealis Magazine (https://aurealis.com.au/store/aurealis-172/ )!

Just US$2.99 (~AU$4.50) for three stories, three essays and a bunch of book reviews. If you feel like supporting an independent, Australian science fiction magazine, please give them a look.

I'm writing my PhD at the moment, which I eventually hope to turn into a book.

What's the topic?

Looks interesting. What does the line 'One phone call and you've lost control' refer to?

Thanks .

It's got a few layers. The novel is about the fight for control of a phone based portal/teleportation technology - where a phone call can take you anywhere in the world, even your enemy's stronghold.

Also, control of that tech hinges on phone calls at least half a dozen times through out the novel, from the opening line to the last.

And also, i thought it sounded cool! And intriguing. Given you (and a few others) have asked about it, I think i was right haha.

Good luck with the book release.

Backed.

To be honest, the synopsis didn't engage me, but when I started reading the chapters you've released, I got more and more into the story. I actually stopped at the end of chapter 3 (even though I know 4 chapters were available), because I want to enjoy it all once the book actually arrives!

Oh that's awesome! Thanks so much.

And good feedback on the synopsis - I'm interested to hear if you have any feedback on the synopsis re: what didn't engage you, as I've really struggled with it, and it's not settled until the books get printed haha.
