Terran Shift News
Terran Shift is a science fiction universe created by Paul and Jamie for use in novels, video games, and anything else we want to do in a futuristic setting. Our intention is to treat this project as an open, shared universe, sort of like if Star Trek were spliced with an open source project.

I and the other members of the Greater Portland Scribists have been working hard on these stories for months, and we’re overjoyed to announce that they are finally ready for publication. It’s been a long road, and we delayed the publication several times, but our reason was understandable: there’s a lot here. With twelve stories weighing in at just over 85,000 words, Miscreations is our longest anthology yet. So, while we missed our usual June release date, we feel the extra time spent on these stories was worth the delay, and we know you’ll feel the same. For our 13th book, we decided to get all fancy and hired local artist Peeter Parkker to design the cover art. Check out the full-sized artwork here and his website at http://akapeterparker.com/
As always with our anthologies, I made a PDF sample that gives you a short excerpt of each of these stories: Room Two by Steven Inman My Toaster Hates Me by Jamie Alan Belanger Behind The Cloth by Richard Veysey Non-Working Memory by D.L. Harvey Breed by Timothy Lynch Qi’lin by Shelli-Jo Pelletier X-Ray Glasses by Steven Inman Naked Monsters by D.L. Harvey The Hunt by Timothy Lynch The Howling of the Storm by Shelli-Jo Pelletier The Joke by Richard Veysey Dappil Goes To Hell by Jamie Alan Belanger
The ebook is currently available at Smashwords and will be live in the Amazon Kindle Store. Other ebook stores will carry it in the coming two weeks or so. We are also making a paperback of this volume, which should be ready later this month.

Scribings Vol 4 Coming Soon!Volume 4 of the Scribings anthology series is almost done… we’re putting the finishing touches on the stories and should be ready to publish the ebook this week. The paperback will take another couple of weeks to get all the formatting just right, but that should be out at some point in July. It took a little longer this year because we have twelve stories… 12! Totaling at just around 85,000 words, this will be the biggest Scribings yet!

I made these word count statistics by highlighting the actual stories, so if you compare to word counts at places like Smashwords, it won’t match up… I didn’t want to include things like copyright text and author biographies in these counts.
