A Year of Silence

Just noticed it's been over a year since I last posted and thought I had better commemorate it somehow. So here's a poem:


Prolificity

by

Van Alrik


prolificity
oh how hardly
anon I knew thee
and here I see
where once ye be
now only
sterility
yet maybe
perchance we see
presently
the germ of thee
from the skree
the budding panacee
of prolificity

The Church of Raw Is Live!

This one went around the block a few times, but it's finally out in Thuggish Itch: Scientific: https://amzn.to/2y6E6D9

Turns out I did have a couple of other pubs (in the pre-hiatus hiatus...) which I've added to the Biblio page, so check them out.

Hiatus...Ending

Just wanted to take a minute and draw attention to how long it's been since I posted anything. And no, I haven't published much in the interim. I think I had one additional publication, but I'll have to go check now to make sure. It's been a while.

However -- I have managed to keep submitting to Writers of the Future each quarter, and I got another Honorable Mention today. So that's why I'm here. Hopefully I'll be back before another two years pass.

Life of Orpheus Is Live!

I had a new story posted on Sci Phi Journal today: http://www.sciphijournal.com/life-of-orpheus-by-carl-grafe/.

This was actually one of the first stories I wrote, so it has quite a bit of sentimental value for me. It's a little rough around the edges, but nice to see it in print. Plus, it has a really cool cover image:



It's been a while since I posted last, but I've actually been doing quite a bit of writing, just not a lot of posting. I'm probably posting more frequently over at @vjalrik on Twitter now (though still infrequent...), so I'll see if I can get a feed up on here. I'll have some more news coming up in the next couple of months!

New Work-in-Progress

Just a quick note I've started a new novel. This one's meant to be a middle grade science fiction, and I have to admit I'm pretty excited about it. I'm updating my word counts in the bar at the top, so follow along!
