Hey, Look: I’m Translated into German!

Hey, Look: I’m Translated into German!

Exciting news! I am officially an "internationally known" author! One of my stories - "Brood Parasitism" - has been included in Ihr Körper, das Schiff: Die besten internationalen Science-Fiction-Geschichten , which, if my German is correct, translates to Her Body, the Ship: The Best International Science Fiction Stories. This is super cool! I've never been translated into another language before, and it's really an honor to be included.

If any translators/international reprint anthologies would like to jump on this request, I'm game and have a decent back catalogue available. :)
Can I also just take a moment to note how nice it is when someone writes a message like this. If you like a story, tell an author. It really helps! :)

Just finished your story in "Ihr Körper, das Schiff" and so far it's my favorite one of the book. Straight forward (I like that SO much), nice sci-fi background, good ending.

Will check out your other writing too and hope someone will translate more of it.

Thanks Stephan! Its always great to hear someone enjoyed a story and I'm happy to hear its reaching a wider audience. You can find more of my stories in @shoreinf.bsky.social @wyldblood.bsky.social and @aanpress.bsky.social
among other places. Hopefully this is not the last to be translated! :)

Late night editing commences. This one is now on its second sweep after a good rest.

Also here's a nice review of it:

Here's the link to it on Amazon Germany, although I'm unclear why its showing under 'Biblical Fiction' and 'Horse Care'!

Its also on the other Amazons under its proper 'Science Fiction' categorisation!

I'm seeing Mmeory listed on there now at least, although not the press itself.

Michael Teasdale @mteasdalewriter.bsky.social · Aug 14

These look like books I would pick up for the cover art alone. Its so disappointing that so much cover design today is just the title in a giant font...and not always a very interesting font.

Encouraging news regarding the unauthorised theft of our work.

Michael Teasdale @mteasdalewriter.bsky.social · Aug 11

Coming close has largely been my year in review so far. So this is apt.
I'm afraid I may still add to your pile of reading yet. :)

Time traveller? I actually saw someone apply for a job like this once at a place I worked. The resume had the company name at the top and was written as if they already worked there. It seems to be a thing people do...

Kitten update: Momo tested negative for FiV and is now approved to mingle with the other cats. He has selected the science fiction section of the bookshelf as his favourite place with a preference for Zamyatin and Philip K Dick among others. I am a proud father.

Abandoned kitten update. Back from the vets. Dewormed and ear mites dealt with. FIV test will be next week. He's a happy little guy.

Found this little guy abandoned in a supermarket carpark this morning. 😭 He's safe in my garden now at least. I'll take him to the vet tomorrow.

Good morning, Mr. Manuscript! After doing the requisite spell of ignoring it, post completion, today begins the task of examining it with fresh eyes in printed form, with a pencil, a highlighter and probably the first of several caffeinated drinks.

Picked up some Latvian Space Disco this morning at the local market. This afternoon's task is seeing how many words I can trim from a near 8000 word story since nobody seems to want tales of this length anymore.

Interesting bubble library I came across while out hiking yesterday. I didn't see The Librarian but I wouldn't have been surprised. 📚
