Hollywood, CA

Brian Trent of Prospect, Connecticut had his third short story published this year since his win and publication in the bestselling Science Fiction anthology series - "L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume XXIX" this past April. His short story, "The Nightmare Lights of Mars" was sold to and published at Escape Pod, skillfully narrated by voiceover artist Veronica Giguere. Escape Pod responded to the story with, "Holy Wow. That was four different colors of amazing. Structurally Brian did some really interesting things with that piece... that's really clever, nuanced writing... exactly the sort of subtle characterization that people like to claim hard SF doesn't know how to do... a chilling final image... I adored how closely this sits with the truly great Mars stories. The end result is chilling and beautiful and honestly, one of my favorite stories of the year."

Escape Pod is the premiere science fiction podcast magazine. Every week they publish short stories in a convenient audio format for your computer or MP3 player. The stories are free and they are supported through listener donations and sponsorship.
