It is What it Isn't

by Stephen Higgins

"It is What it Isn't' is a collection of new fiction, some previously published stories and non fiction from Stephen Higgins. The stories range from serious to comedic, so I guess that means there is something for everyone. Unless you like Westerns and Romance stories. To be honest there are hardly any Wild West references and probably even fewer romance tropes to be found. I'm sure one or two of the characters are fond of each other, but that hardly qualifies it on the Romance front. So I was wrong when I said there is something for everyone. Sorry.

About the author

As can be seen from all of the Aurealis magazine entries, I am one of the editors of that publication. However, I have published one book dealing with my career as a teacher. (Imaginativly titled ‘Teach’) and I have just released a collection of short stories and articles, all science fiction-ish, and that is titled ‘It is What it Isn’t’.
I also record instrumental music and that is available wherever you stream your music.
If you would like know more you can find me on X, Bluesky, FB and Instagram.

[Laurie Bell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short on time? Want a read that will stay with you long after you put the book down? This collection of short stories is perfect for a pick up put down transit read. (I know because I read it on my daily commute). Stephen Higgins has written an excellent collection of short stories with a strong science fiction focus. Some will make you laugh, some will leave you pondering the meaning of reality and some will make you go “huh?”

I loved it and recommend this one if you like a good sci fi short read.
