“Lost Out There in the Stars” was published April 2022 in the third issue of Parsec, the new science fiction magazine from PS Publishing, which had previously been so supportive of me by publishing so many of my stories in PostScripts.
The story’s title was inspired by the wonderful song of that name, and was written during a rather bleak period for me as I considered the future — though much of that appears in the story more as subtext than text. The writing of it helped pull me out of that mood.
I hope it will pull you out of yours.
