Shepardsport Pirate Radio — an Experiment in Storytelling is on indefinite hiatus. It was originally created in the dark and uncertain days of March 2020, as an exploration of how the Grissom timeline, and particularly the lunar settlements, might respond to a fast-moving and very deadly pandemic. At the time it gave the author a creative outlet for the stress of a situation that shifted from day to day, even hour to hour.

It was never expected to last for over a year, and as the difficulties of those early months are subsiding and the author is finding it easier to write again, it actually started taking time away from other, more traditional fiction writing endeavors. However, the author wishes to maintain the possibility of returning to it in the future, particularly if circumstances make it once again a necessary creative outlet.

Thank you for following.

Brutality, infrastructure collapse, daily threats of war: 45 writers of speculative fiction share their visions of what’s to come.

Fighting in the streets, corruption at the highest levels, thuggish police, a daily threat of nuclear war: few of us thought we’d find ourselves here, so far into the 21st century. What’s next? Are we really going to be “great again,” however that’s meant?

In this diverse and vigorous mix of original stories by newcomers and luminaries, writers offer their takes on what life might hold for us in the next few years. The resulting visions of oppression, and daily struggle are sometimes humorous, sometimes terrifying, but always thought-provoking.
