Stories That Matter

Speculative Fiction Series 1 -
Otherworldly Emergence

Scheduled Release August 2026

12 Authors collaborated in an exploration of otherworldly elements that could no longer remain in the shadows (by accident or necessity). The inaugural series reflects on the emotional, societal and fantastical consequences of this revelation. Each Novella tells a unique story set during this critical period of emergence offering readers different perspectives and setting while connecting to a shared theme.

Speculative Fiction Series 2 -
Otherworldly Origins

Submissions open on July 6, 2026

This second series will welcome 16 authors that can capture the dawning of an otherworldly element into our reality. The expansive scope within speculative fiction will allow for a number of unique storytelling perspectives that will enter the inner sanctum of otherworldly origins. You will peek inside the room where it happened. The birth or creation that changed what we consider to be normal in this realm.

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to go to SwanCon. This is a Convention that focusses on Sci-fi Fantasy and Horror based in Perth. I hadn't heard of it until last year and as soon as I did I knew it was an event that I would like to attend. I even committed myself to hosting some panels about publishing and podcasting a few months ago. A few of my friends have attended in the past and advised that it was a worthwhile event but they hadn't been in a few years.

Being a guest on Finding Elara was brilliant fun! Diana has a knack of finding questions that really made me think, and gave me the opportunity to dig through the dusty attic of my brain for ideas I haven't articulated in a long time. We had a great chat, a good chuckle, and now I've got a professional podcast interview to share with my audience! It's a win/win as far as I'm concerned

I have the books in order starting at Enchanted Escapes and finishing with Hidden heritage. I am so excited to share these books with you very soon. The series is launching on the 21st of August 2026.

Wearing my cool new bookish ahirt. Thank you @selina.shapland_author it is so soft and comfy.

I was having a bit bit of fun with canva. Thinking about Origin stories in speculative fiction and you can't go past Aliens. Submissions are not open until next month, but now's the time to start thinking what your story would be.

Dogs are so glad to be home and have their own little space.

A good friend of mine recommended I talk to Chintan about the Otherworldly Emergence series because if his experience in film. I was interested in his out of the box thinking and creative representation of the project. I would love to say more but that would give too much away! His partner Priya started collaborating with Chintan a little later in the series, also excited about the project and how her love of poetry could help refine the prose. The are a united team.

Are coasters still used or are they outdated?

Felix was a little different to the other submissions. He was actively sought out after being recommended by a close friend of Bushland Castle Productions. We advised him of the opportunity and he submitted just in time. His story has grown a life of its own during the process of writing and I look forward to sharing it with the world.

My daughter and her boyfie cooked us breakfast before we left. (She even cooked my eggs separately 🥰).

I engaged with Selina originally through her passion for helping authors when wearing her coaching hat. It didn't take long to learn more about her fascination for horror! I encouraged her to submit for the series and I am so glad that she has shared her story with us.

I did sone intense 4wd.. the kind where you don't want to stop, but it was worth it for the view.

I was fortunate enough to meet Sidney through another writing group and I hoped that we would be able to build on that friendship. When she applied for the Otherworldly Emergence series I was blown away by the well considered and immersive world she has created.

Hubby and I went on a sunrise walk this morning and it was so relaxing! No rush. Just the casual enjoyment of what the beach has to offer.

Ryan was the second person approved for the Otherworldly Emergence Series and has been committed to elevating his prose the whole time. His Story Monsters and the Disturbed is an action packed paranormal.

Roadtrip snaps. We made it safely to Karratha to see one of our Daughters. 18+ hours of driving. Worth it.

When April Joined the Bushland Pages and shared her story with me I was inspired. Her perspective on Otherworldly Emergence was unique and interesting. I am so excited to share her story with the world soon.

Looks amazing. It really lights up my day.

I was surprised to see Aribela's pitch in the Otherworldly Emergence Series, but when she explained her story and provided a sample it was beautiful. Her poetic writing drew me in and I wanted to know more!
