Short story

My short story 'Saltus Lunae', which was previously published in the British SF Society magazine Matrix and which won the NewCon 3 short story competition in 2006, is now live in issue one of Wild Stacks here: http://www.wildstacks.co.uk/
It's one of my very rare forays into sf, although the inspiration for it was 7th century methods of deriving the date of Easter. I'm fond of it, as it was the story that kick-started me back into trying to sell Living With Ghosts and turned me back into a fiction writer.

Beautiful, and a little dreadful, too.

I think that has more ideas and descriptions crammed into a short space than I believed possible. No wonder it was an award winner. Well done you!!

It's a great story. The images are beautiful, and I love the traces of lost civilisations in the names.
