The Independent Fantasy & Sci-Fi Mag
Love science fiction? This magazine is for you!
The very first edition of IFSM launches April 2026 with my first ever science fiction short story 'A Day in the Life of Orla Reddy' within its sci-fi and fantasy pages. This story started life as an earth bound tale but soon rocketed into deep space and I'm so proud of it.
I'm thrilled to see my story placed first in the magazine and excited to be in the company of a host of talented and experienced independent writers. Go to IFS-MAG.COM to learn more and buy the e-magazine by issue, or subscribe.
(A note about content: this story (and the other stories in the magazine) is written for adult readers. Saying that, there is no explicit content in Orla's story, however triggers may include injuries, accidents, a child with a terminal disease and other ER and hospital related drama.)
