Bye Bye, GameLemon.com

As some of you may have noticed, the humorous video game review website GameLemon.com no longer exists (much to the dismay of everybody, might I add).

All the contributors — especially the editor Max Hrabrov — did a fantastic job with the website over the years. I’d also like to note how awesome Max’s edits were, often adding a lot of more value in so little words to practically all the reviews that he edited.

I’ve backed up all of my reviews that Max was kind enough to publish via the GameSpot’s Reader Review function, and you can find the links to the respective reviews in the Non-Fiction part of this site.

Bye bye, GameLemon.com.

It was fun while it lasted.

SFrevu reviews Abyss & Apex Issue 32

SFrevu posted a very favorable review for Abyss & Apex Issue 32, and my flash fiction story got a nice mention.

In “The Chinese Chef Was a Hologram” by Max Salnikov, Falco is wired into the Internet through his hair and is always connected. This is of no use to him when he needs to design a new piece of furniture and he just can’t get inspired. When he tries a new service called INSPIRE ME NOW, things change for him in this cleverly written piece.

New story up on Abyss & Apex

The Abyss & Apex Magazine of Speculative Fiction editors were kind enough to buy a story of mine titled “The Chinese Chef was a Hologram” a couple of months back. The story is now available from the magazine’s current edition. You can check out the story either via a link from the FICTION section of my site, or you can just click HERE!

Investigator, Digital & Occult

I’ve backed up Robin Sloan’s “Robin Writes a Book” KickStarter project with a few dollars after hearing his wonderful “Mr. Penumbra’s 24 Hour Book Store” over at Escape Pod (narrated by Steve Eley). If you enjoy science fiction short stories and haven’t heard of Escape Pod yet, then you’ve been missing out. Thankfully, there’s an easy fix.
