In Time We Left, edited by Terry Grimwood

Published July 2020 by Snuggly Books

Cover Text

Time We Left Stories and poetry from the outward journey.   A lonely vigil aboard a vast space station orbiting a dying planet   A poignant to one of the first living beings to leave Earth   A deadly planet where sentience is not as humanity understands it   A race against time to save the crew of a starship lost in the depths    of Bastard Space ​ Time We Left A cast of dreamers, rogues, adventurers and colonists who answered the call

My piece in here is a bit of an anomaly in that it is a full-scale novella. I had long resigned myself to finding another home for this one as it grew, but to my delight, Terry wanted it anyway - and this is actually one of my favourite pieces so far. It's also my first ever venture off the planet, though only into low-earth orbit, where an almost empty space hotel provides a unique vantage point on the increasingly surreal fade-out of planet earth.

Time We Left exists as a jacketless hardcover edition.
