Alan Hazelrig II has submitted his latest effort, "The Incentive" (PDF download) for Novaminds readership. We feel this is an outstanding addition to our library and hope you take the time to read it and rate for Alan in Reader's Choice.

Our first short story post, "Iman" (PDF download), by site creator Michael Penner. Of course, it's excluded from the Short Story Contest, but we're hoping it will get you inspired!

The Novaminds Short Story Awards didn't generate enough entries yet, so we are going to try for a Fall Awards target. The winner's short story will be published on this site (with their permission of course) along with links back to their own website or other destinations of choice. The author will be featured on Novaminds.net through interviews, our own review of his/her work, and posted prominently in our Community pages. A "Novaminds Award Winner" logo will also be made available to the winner for linking back from their site to Novaminds.net. The winner will also be awarded a $35.00 Amazon.com gift certificate. There are no fees for submitting entries, but we do ask only one entry per author. Submission deadline is July 1st, 2008.

Remember, except for this Short Story contest, Novaminds.net posts only the first few chapters as directed by authors. This protects the author's work while providing our readers with some great new stories to read. Rate authors in Reader's Choice and let us know what you think.

The Novaminds.net online science fiction bookstore is ready to go. This is a secure Amazon.com shopping experience from within Novaminds.net. So enjoy!
