SCIENCE FICTION STORIES BY PAUL PEKIN

Anyone who knows how to type html code and transfer files can publish on the web. That's good. But it creates a problem, the same problem self publication has always created. Readers and writers alike want to know that someone, other than the writer and his immediate circle, has passed judgment on a story and pronounced it fit. That's the idea behind this particular bit of vanity. All of these stories have gone over a stranger's transom unsolicited and all have found their way into print on their own merits. Most appeared in literary magazines, publications like Other Voices, The Crescent Review, Sou'wester, the MacGuffin and others.

If your tastes in science fiction include swords, dragons, and princesses in captivity, this collection may disappoint you. I wouldn't call most of these stories science fiction at all, were it not for those editors who returned them with polite little notes advising me that they did not publish science fiction. Fortunately, other editors saw what I was up to and offered my work a home.
Now I offer it to you. Please remember, these stories are all copyrighted material and may not be reprinted without permission.
