Heliocentric
If this is your first time, welcome!
And thank you for signing up via BookSweeps’ Westworld contest.
Since only one person got the grand prize along with 30 books, I thought the rest of you should receive something, as well. So I’m sending you a link to a free short story. (See below).
My normal newsletter, Heliocentric, goes out about once a month, so don’t be surprised when you get another email in a couple of weeks.
My apologies to those of you who are not new to Heliocentric. Attempts to send this only to new subscribers has failed because of my Substack learning curve. Think of it as evidence that ChatGPT and other AI sources had nothing to do with this content.
Here’s what you can expect in my newsletters:
Things like musings on ideas I’m pondering, an occasional short story, links to articles I enjoyed, updates on writing projects, books I recommend, freebies and deals I hear about, news, upcoming events where I'll be, and more.
Book Reviews. I’m doing a series right now where I’m reviewing sci-fi books I enjoyed, so if you’re looking for new reads, watch for upcoming newsletters and check out the archives.
Newsletters go out mostly monthly, usually on Saturday.
It’s free.
No ads, no sneaky tracking links.
You will be invited to subscribe to my Substack in each email—but you don’t have to. The emails contain everything. The only reasons to subscribe would be so you can comment and get access to archives which I am in the process of slowly moving over.
It shouldn’t be this hard to get through a door

Artificial Intelligence is something I like to explore. In this story, the simple process of exiting a secure area is complicated by a robot with problematic code.
It was first published in a NIWA anthology called “Escape” and I’m offering my escape story to new subscribers for free.
