We have some good news, our story, One Man’s War has been accepted for publication by N.E. White over at the number one fantasy forum on the internet: www.sffworld.com. A few years ago, we were lucky enough to be win a spot in the first competition of its kind. Our dystopian short story featured alongside the amazingly successful Hugh Howey and Michael J. Sullivan’s work.

This year, the award winning author Elizabeth Moon is the spearhead of the anthology and we’re very excited to be published alongside her and the other talented authors at sffworld.com.

Our challenge this time round was to come up with an alternative story that spawned from the events during the Great War. We wrote a couple of thousand words on our first story idea before we realised it didn’t quite hit the heights we were hoping for. A few days later we scrapped it and decided to focus on Adolf Hitler’s involvement during the war where he fought as a soldier.

With so much mystery surrounding the infamous dictator – how did he die? Where did he get his insane ideas from? Did something happen to cause his hate for Jewish people? Was he actually part Jewish? – we had many different scenarios in which to place a story that could seem plausible, even today, a hundred years later. We think we pulled it off, and the judges seem to have agreed, but we’ll have to wait and see what everyone else thinks. Enough blabber. What do you think of the front cover?
