Hi all,
This is my first newsletter. And I have a story for you, as well as a
request.
The story, 'Prisoner of the Mind', is my entry into the spring writing
contest organized by The Write Practice (an online community for writers
I frequent) and Short Fiction Break, an online magazine for, well, short
fiction.. The theme of the contest was 'a fate worse than death', and
I've written about such a fate that's close to home for many of us.
The story can be found here:

The request? Next to the judges winners, there is also the Readers'
Choice Award, for which anyone can vote. So naturally, I'm asking
everyone to vote for my story. You can vote here:

Meanwhile, I'm steadily writing more material for my anthology due to be
published by the end of this year. The first story has been sent to my
beta-readers for gathering feedback. The second story (an intergalactic
murder mystery) is done in a first draft, and I'm currently wrapping up
a third story (set in a post-apocalyptic world).
That's it for now. Thanks for reading and until the next one!
Koen
