(By ‘here’ I mean on my dining table. Though you can actually buy it here.) I was delighted to be invited to contribute to this anthology, which was originally inspired by the loss of several musical legends over too short a period a few years back. One of those legends was Bowie, who is my […]

Stories of Hope and Wonder
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 6 May 2020 0
Newcon Press, purveyors of quality SFF to the discerning reader, have put out an anthology for our times. ‘Stories of Hope and Wonder‘ is a collection featuring stories – a LOT of stories – from most of the top SFF writers in the UK at this time (and me). It’s so big it only exists […]
Double Story Release Bonanza!
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 11 July 2017 0
I’ve not had much news to share here recently – OK, I could have gone on about winning the BSFA Award, but I kind of blanketed social media with my joy over that at the time – but in the last week I’ve had not one but two stories see print. Actually, one of them […]
A year of patronage
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 16 March 2017 0
More good stuff to celebrate, although not unexpected; I’ve now been on Patreon for a full year. It still gives me a genuine warm and fuzzy feeling to know people are willing to give up some of their hard-earned dosh to help me get my stories out there. Partly in general exuberance, but mainly because […]
Short stuff good
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 13 October 2016 0
This year hasn’t seen much action on the novel front, though I’m hoping that’ll change next year. I have had two very different short stories published, firstly ‘Liberty Bird’ (a space opera inspired by a trip to the Lake District – no really) appeared in Newcon Press’s Now We Are Ten anthology, while ‘A Dormitory […]
From the Vaults
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 2 August 2015 0
I’ve a fondness for alternate history. My first professionally published story, ‘A Path to the Sun’ (which you can read for free here), is alt. history, so when the editor of the fabulously titled ‘Mammoth Book of Tales from the Vatican Vaults‘ asked me to contribute a story, I was delighted. The conceit is that […]
Wicked Women
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 29 November 2014 0
Just back from a lovely week away with Beloved to find my contributor’s copy of the Fox Spirit Books anthology Wicked Women waiting on the doormat (sorry about the Am*zon link, it’s not stocked in many places). My contribution is a retold fairytale (sort of), but I’m looking forward to reading the other stories, as […]
Short story sale
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 24 January 2014 0
I’m pleased to announce that I’ve sold a story to the fantastically titled ‘Mammoth Book of Tales from the Vatican Vaults’, due out in spring 2015. The premise behind this anthology is that the Catholic Church might have kept a few things secret down the years … but now the truth can be told. Lots […]
Free Fiction, get it here.
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 10 January 2014 0
Although the free story I put up a few weeks ago, The Path to the Sun, has been present in a hidden achievement kind of a way since my new site went live, there’s now an actual menu option to take you to it, and more. So far there are three short stories accessible under […]
