Woo-hoo!

My unscientific estimate is that members of Critters are around 10X more likely to make sales than non-critters (but cause and effect? who knows?). Regardless, this page is to celebrate our successes!

Critter Robert Qualkinbush has analyzed the reports below and created a summary page of how many sales Critters have had. Fascinating, and astounding! Good going to you all.

If you have something to report, tell me immediately!

Free ads on the Critters site are also provided as a benefit of membership.

Congratulations to...

    Renan Bernardo, whose short story, "The Wattled Goddess" is now out in the current issue of Andromeda Spaceways #93. {The Wattled Goddess is certainly the darkest story I ever wrote. Kissare travels across the desert, her body the vessel for the goddess Epidemya. At the whims of Werius, the deacon, Kissare transports diseases, sucking them out from the “good people” and transfering them to prisoners of wars and criminals. She does that to preserve the life of Orjiel, the old and decaying poet, the only person she has ever loved in her life, and the only life she has ever spared during her time as a desert marauder. } [Jan 2024]
    Dsle Cozort, whose novel, "There Will Always Be an England" is now out from Self published. {My novel "There Will Always Be an England" is now available on Amazon. Two weeks after D-Day, all of 1944 Britain disappears, replaced by a version from deep in the past. } [Dec 2023]

    Renan Bernardo, who reports "My collection of Solarpunk/Clifi short stories, Different Kinds of Defiance, is accepting preorders! It will be published on March 2024.". {Defiance has many faces, and in Different Kinds of Defiance, they are as varied as they are gripping. In a world teetering on the brink of moral ambiguity, each story is a testament to the spirit that resists, rebuilds, and redeems. >From the sunbaked docks of a Rio de Janeiro, changed yet still familiar, to the oil-streaked shores of Barra Nova, Renan Bernardo weaves tales of characters caught in the throes of life's tempests. Meet Hamilton, whose pursuit of a stolen yacht morphs into a crusade for healthcare for the forgotten, his acts a mosaic of bravery and necessity​​. Walk with Vitória as she battles the relentless tide of pollution with a fleet of smart-bots at her side, her resolve as persistent as the oil that stains her beach​​. Stand by Jota, who faces the storms of parenting in the shadow of a past that is never quite done with him or his defiant bloodline​​. Different Kinds of Defiance is a collection for the rebels at heart—for those who find courage where hope seems lost and for whom every act of resistance is an act of sheer will. Can one steal for the greater good? Can technology heal a land left for dead? Can a single act of love withstand a legacy of struggle? Dive into these stories of resilience and witness the many forms defiance can take when faced with the precipice of change. } [Dec 2023]
    Viterbo Guedez (M.G. Viterbo), whose (Critter'd) short story, "How to Spit in Microgravity" is now out in the current issue of Savage Planets. [Nov 2023]
    Russell Adams, who sold his (Critter'd) short story, "Pretending to Live" to Wicked Shadow Press: "Apocalyptales: The End Is Nigh". {One of the things I like about Wicked Shadow Press is that they offer personal acceptances: Mine read: "Such a powerful and evocative piece. The depth of emotion and the stark contrast between the characters' memories and their current reality are greatly impactful. Your narrative beautifully captures our resilience in the face of despair and the desperate need to find meaning and connection even in the bleakest of circumstances." } [Nov 2023]

    LindaAnn LoSchiavo, who sold her book, "Felones de SE: Poems about Suicide" to Ukiyoto. {Summary: With a sprinkling of dark humor and a full measure of compassion, "Felones de Se: Poems about Suicide" is surprising, quirky, and a riveting read.
