Inner Peace Is For Losers

A new Variant Frequencies story is now live, titled "Spired" by Jonathan C. Gillespie and narrated by John Cmar (aka Cmaaaaarrrrr). As usual, produced by the wizard of GarageBand, Rick Stringer, whose sound effects and music add to the tension and danger.

What it's about:

Obsession is close kin to determination. For one man, an alien peak seems just another obstacle capable of being conquered with the right set of tools. But any climber will tell you — you don’t want to look back the way you came.

Also, go have a look at Apex Online, January issue. That's matt_wallace, who I may have mentioned a time or two, as the featured writer for January. There's a highly entertaining interview and a story by Matt. Go have a look, then say something nice to him about it, because he's very needy.
