The Solar Federation

I've started a new series of stories that take place in a solar federation that spans our solar system. The series will take place on all kinds of planets, moons, asteroids, ships, and wherever else I want to set stories. The stories won't follow any one set of characters, but characters may show up in multiple stories.
The first of the stories, Mission Unknown, is now available for your Kindle at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W1GX75G and if you're a Kindle Unlimited member, it's available for free. If you're not a member, the story will be available for free for a few days starting on Wednesday.

A new story

I just put the finishing touches on a new short short. This story will be appearing in the June 2019 issue of The Fifth Di... For those of you that have followed my career, you probably know that for more than 20 years now, I've been editing The Fifth Di... and the June issue will be the final issue. This story was written as something of a good bye to the writers and the readers that have made this such a great zine.

Going back to writing sale

As has been mentioned on the Nomadic Delirium Press blog, I am going to be giving up quite a bit of my editorial duties to focus more on my writing. So, I figured it might be fun to let my readers read some of my older stuff for less than they can usually get it for. At Smashwords, most of my collections are available for 50% off. Go to https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/jaerwine and order now.
At DriveThruFiction, you can get most of my collections and also my individual stories for 50% off. Go to https://www.drivethrufiction.com/browse/pub/2805 and order now.

Downsizing Nomadic Delirium Press

From the Nomadic Delirium Press blog:

As most of you know, Nomadic Delirium Press is basically a one-man operation, and this man has had a very difficult couple of years. Towards the end of last year, I took a promotion at my “real” job in order to keep a roof over my family. That job takes up a great deal of hours. I sometimes work days, other times it’s nights, and sometimes its overnights. Needless to say, this, plus the fact that I’m not as young as I’d like to be, has left me exhausted and with very little free time.

When I got into publishing, it was to be a writer, and I no longer have time to write, and I miss it greatly, and I’m sure not writing is helping to contribute to the depression I constantly feel.  So, after a great deal of thought and discussions with my amazing and supportive wife, I’ve decided to severely downscale what Nomadic Delirium Press does over the next few months. The biggest change is that I’m going to be dropping all of the magazines (although I am in discussions with another publisher to try to keep some of them going.)

The changes look like this:

There will be no 2019 issue of The Martian Wave

The June 2019 issue will be the last issue of The Fifth Di…

The July 2019 issue of Spaceports & Spidersilk will be the last issue

Mundanities 2 will be the final issue of that zine

There will be no further issues of Environmental Holocaust

I will continue to read for The Divided States of America, Mars Station Beta, Delirious Doubles, novels, novellas, and collections. There are a few of you that I have spoken to about special projects, I am still open to those. Zines take up a great deal of time, and I want Nomadic to be more of a leisurely activity now as I focus on my writing, instead of a time-consuming drain on my life.

A Poet Explores the Stars will still be published, and Future Syndicate II will still be published (provided I get enough quality submissions.)

I know this is a great disappointment for many, but I need to finally look out for myself. I don’t want to look back at my life and wonder what I might have written…

Mundanities is here!

The premier issue of Mundanities: The Zine of Mundane Science Fiction is now available!

Mundane science fiction does not imply boring science fiction. Quite the contrary, mundane science fiction simply means fiction based on plausible science. How can sf be interesting without aliens and interstellar travel, you might ask…well, Mundanities answers that question with five fantastic stories that are based on very realistic science.You get the start of the second American revolution, a man refusing to give up his rights to technology, genetically engineered animals, genetically engineered athletes, and a prison system gone very wrong.Far from boring, these stories will have you thinking “what if?” And isn’t that really the point of science fiction?

Goodbye Mosi

On Thursday, December 13^th, Mosi, my best feline friend for the last 19 years, crossed the Rainbow Bridge. It has been a real struggle for me since then. I’ve always loved animals, and pets have always had a special place in my heart, but Mosi was so much more than a pet. For the first half of her life, it was just me and her, and I can remember her waiting for me at the door when I’d get home from work. She learned my routine, and every day, she knew where I was going to go next during my day, and she’d be waiting for me, whether it was the couch, my desk, or wherever I was going. She was the type of cat that loved to snuggle, and even if she had an attitude with others, it was always obvious that she loved me. There were several Thanksgivings and Christmases that it was just me and her, and we’d share a turkey TV dinner together, and then curl up on the couch and I’d watch Star Wars or something as she slept.

Anyone that knows me knows that I’ve dealt with depression throughout my life, and before I met Rebecca, I went through some VERY dark times. Mosi could always tell when I was having my worst days, and she was always there for me. I can honestly say that without that little white fluffball, I might not have made it through those times. That’s what an amazing furry friend she was.

Some people might say that animals don’t have feelings, but those people are ignorant. Animals know how to love, and even if Mosi had a problem with other people, she was my best friend for years.

Everything I do in life somehow reminds me of her, and it will be a long time before I feel normal again, but I’m trying. I’m lucky to have the amazing support of Rebecca. I don’t know if I could get through this without her.

No one can say with any reasonable certainty when the United States of America began to fall apart. Many point to the presidential election of 2016, but most believe the breakup started long before this. Now, in the year 2110, the former United States is made up of 13 nation-states and The Wastelands. Some of the nation-states have prospered under self-rule, while others have declined. Some nation-states are very accepting of outsiders, while others trust no one…sometimes not even their fellow citizens. There is chaos in some places, and order in others…sometimes too much order.
