Harvey Duckman Presents... Volume 7 by R. Bruce Connelly

Poetry often struggles to touch me, which says more about the reader than the creator.

I didn’t set out to write poetry, which is either the worst or best possible starting point imaginable. Please note, this book was originally published in 2020 as the Harvey Pirates Special. Bruce Connelly, Mark Sayeh, Christine King, Joseph Carrabis, Loïc Baucherel, Nils Nisse Visser, Peter James Martin and Andy Hill. The Harvey Duckman Presents… Volume 11 includes stories by Amy Wilson, Ben Sawyer, Kate Baucherel, Mark Hayes, Melissa Wuidart Phillips, C.G. 'This was such an entertaining read! With so many contributing authors adding different characters and storyline it made it such a page turner. These short stories give a glimpse into some fantastic worlds that are already out there for you to enjoy, as well as a taste of more to come… so get your bottle of rum ready and hunker down to read. This anthology features work by exciting new voices in speculative fiction, including both established authors and previously unpublished writers. Volume 11 - previously the pirates special edition now the pirate one - and now with a number of its own to join the rest of this awesome series of collected works of suspense and mystery in the genres of science fiction, fantasy, horror and steampunkery… Roebuck, Liam Hogan, Kate Baucherel, Liz Tuckwell and Ben Sawyer. Bruce Connelly, Will Nett, Davia Sacks, Peter James Martin, Robin Moon, Joseph Carrabis, A.L. Volume 9 includes stories by: John Holmes-Carrington, Graeme Wilkinson, Mark Hayes, R. Published by Sixth Element Publishing, April 2022 Volume 9 but with a plumbing theme threading through most but not all stories, and in the end, it was actually a lot of fun to put together. Without explaining in long, drawn-out detail (that’ll take a rum or two), we had way too much excitement and enthusiasm for the plumbing/plumbers theme, but not quite enough stories to make a stand alone special… so we decided on a compromise.

Scheduled originally for a pre-Christmas release, then a January/February 2022 release, it finally burst into life just in time to launch at Sci-Fi Scarborough in April.Ĭoming out of the pandemic was far more complicated than a simple return to normal, and pulling together the new batch of stories was further complicated by the slightly tricky ‘plumbing’ issue. If Volume 8 took a while to hit the shelves, Volume 9 took even longer.
