Price: Free! 63280 words.
Published on January 1, 2013. Fiction.
Part II of the Infinity Fish Trilogy sees Fishmael, Mungo, Jerry, Ambrosius and Stan transported to a planet not unlike their homeworld Expiscor - except that here ships are the size of skyscrapers and the water is too old and cantankerous to bother evaporating. The Infinity Fish is out there somewhere, and there's only one ship they can catch to find her...

Biography
A passionate writer, I have just published my fourth novel, Voyage of The Leviathan, the exciting sequel to Fish Stocks Limited.

Proceedings of The Sector 7 Institute of Low-Energy Physics
by Michael Summers
Price: Free! 900 words. Published on September 10, 2012. Fiction.
Life is very different on a neutron star. Things happen at the scale of the nanometer and a second is a long, long, time. Research is going to be tricky at the best of times for the scientists at the Sector 7 Institute of Low-Energy Physics. Not least when, using their particle decelerator, they achieve energies so low that they discover an exotic new form of chemistry...

The Corpus Officialis Tower is not as it seems. For a start it's no more than twenty feet high but sprawls across several hundred square kilometres of southeast England. Nobody can quite remember who built it or why, but it certainly does something. Of course, after the computer-induced apocalypse The Administrator has ensured there isn't a microchip in sight...

Archie has never worked in an Is Shop before, although he's learning fast. Things are not that straightforward though: the proprietor is decidedly odd, the shop only stocks what the last person wanted and the customers are uncommonly rude. But things are to get stranger still...

- Alcohol: The Conditioning
on March 21, 2012
This was a well-written and enjoyable story, which I think draws upon a lot of life experience. The capers described in the story have the feeling of Hunter S. Thompson about them, but with a greater air of the repentant. I was entertained reading "Alcohol: The Conditioning". and, although I have never seriously been touched by the potentially devastating effects of alcohol (apart from numerous unwise student capers and a few hangovers), I think I was also made a little wiser. If you read this story I think a pint will still taste as good, but ten might have a bitter after-taste

- Smashwords Style Guide
on March 21, 2012
I always wondered what the backward "P" button on word did. Now I know. This style guide is essential for anyone wishing to use the exciting medium of Smashwords to publish their work, and it is written with clarity and pragmatism. So if you think your words only overlap when you've had too many beers, think again...
- The Adventures of Ray the Robot
on March 30, 2012
Warwick packs a lot into these two stories, from a space navy's press gang to a all-too-tempting bevy of alien princesses. The stories have humour and style; they kept the right pace and made me want to turn the page. If you like Douglas Adams and Grant Naylor you'll like these shorts. I look forward to reading the author's other works.
