Kimota Resurrected as Kzine; Good Vibrations To Be Published

Way back in 2001 I sold an early SF story called Good Vibrations to a UK magazine called Kimota. I was delighted about it at the time : Kimota was a market I really wanted to crack. Not long after, though, Kimota folded. I don't think it had anything to do with my story appearing there ...

But the magazine was much missed. That's why I was delighted to learn just recently it is to be brought back to life. It is metamorphosing into Kzine, a Kindle-based eZine. Seems there are a few SF magazines popping back up over here. Is there a resurgence in speculative short fiction?

Anyway, Graeme Hurry, the man behind Kzine, also announced plans to publish an anthology of Kimota stories in a new anthology to support the setting up of Kzine. And Good Vibrations is to be there! w00t. It's kind of an odd story but I was very pleased with it at the time. Here's the opening line :

Mark E Moon put his empty pint glass down onto the bar, looked up at the barman and said, "So, what year have we reached?"

Fortunately Graeme recalled the story too :

I must say I found your story unique when it came in ... glad to have published it.

I'll let you have more details of the Kzine anthology when I know them.

Meanwhile they are already accepting submissions. Details on the web site. I shall definitely send them something. Payments, I see, "will be based on subscriptions and story length but cannot be determined in advance."
