Zero for Conduct

I submitted a story to the Indie Writers Deathmatch at Broken Pencil Magazine this week!

I’m posting this in a bid to get the jump on my competition by seizing the search-engine high ground.

I wrote a science fiction short called “Pangea’s Edge” which takes place in Surrey 2040.

You, my fellow travellers, will help me win – by voting for Pangea’s Edge in a series of one-on-one deathmatch rounds on Broken Pencil’s website.

If you’re reading this, you can help – I’ll update this posting when the finalists are announced, and you can click me to the top!

Zero for Conduct, the Zine of Counter-Film, will be for sale in hardcopy at Canzine in Toronto this weekend! Sonja Ahlers will have it somewhere on her table in the “Gotta Laugh to Keep from Crying” room! If you can’t make it to Canzine, get it HERE.
