I shelved my planned blog post due to amazing news. I’m going to the moon! Not me in person, but…
“Fly me to the moon…” Yes, there’ll be traces of McKell on the moon, soon.
Publishers of two anthology series have arranged with Astrobotic to land their books on the moon in mid-2021 on their Vulcan Centaur rocket platform!
And they include my stories! (Also available on planet Earth.)
“Chronicle Worlds: Paradisi” contains my story, “Final Flight“
“Beyond the Stars: Rocking Space” contains my story, “Chocolate“
For more information about the lander, see Astrobotic.com or https://www.facebook.com/Astrobotic/
I’ll let you know when it arrives, as soon as I finish my celebratory champagne!
This is a great start to my 2021. I hope the rest of the year goes well for you all.
Andy McKell, Speculative Fiction Author 
That’s awesome Andy! Congratulations!

Many thanks, James! The whole project seems so amazing. So glad to be a part of it, even though others did all the arranging.

Sounds like a good place to send spec fic! Are they going to take any artworks? Asking for a friend, of course. 🙂

Yes! It would be ‘something’ to be able to add to the cv, under ‘Exhibitions’: 2021: The Moon (Permanent Collection).
