Stargate Far Horizons is published today!

This is a first-off anthology of short stories featuring Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, celebrating the ten years of Stargate adventures published by Fandemonium. There's a wonderful collection of authors in the anthology, promising a nice variety of tales.

Step up and buy a copy, and show the world that the popularity of both Stargates is as strong as it has ever been. Links are on my website.

Just received the cover art for the upcoming Stargate SG-1 & Atlantis Far Horizons. Very pretty melding of the SG-1 and Atlantis Gates.
Far Horizons is published in ebook on October 23rd, and the paperback edition follows along a couple of weeks later.

A face from the past

Watched a doco tonight on SBS about using satellite imagery to find previously undiscovered tombs, temples and pyramids in Egypt. Best of all was the discovery of a sun temple (as featured in a certain book!) At the beginning of the show they crawled up into the King’s chamber of Khufu’s pyramid and then up into the small chambers above, not an easy feat for Zahi Hawass. Inside that top chamber, all over the walls and sides, are dozens of graffitied names from explorers and tourists over probably 150 years. Oh, and also there was a graffiti from the builders – Khufu’s gang I think it was (sorry, Daniel!)

Anyway, on one wall I caught a glimpse of “Aust Force” and had to laugh at our boys from the First AIF who were stationed at Mena Camp in 1914-15. Then they showed another name, Sister MT Martin 6.2.15. She had to be an Aussie. Quick search and sure enough Mary Therese Martin from Newcastle was a member of the AANS.

There’s a picture of her here: http://www.aans.gravesecrets.net/ma.html
She looks like a spirited woman, one who obviously had no trouble climbing up the Grand Gallery and most likely up rickety wooden ladders to get into the small space of the top chambers – in a long skirt! Bet she never thought that a hundred years later her handwriting would be seen by the whole of her country.
