2023: The year of delayed gratification
Hello and Merry Christmas to all those who pass this way. Welcome to my annual round up. Following last year’s quiet year this one started with a bang, with three stories accepted. Yes, three. The first of these appeared in New Maps in May and is a silly wee thing about keeping hold of data…

A shorty in the cathedral
Good News, everybody, I have a new story out. Available from New Maps is their Spring 2023 issue and I have a really quite short story in it. It’s been two years since my last publication and for a bit there I felt like I might have lost the mojo for this story writing lark so this…

Like flippin’ busses
Why yes, it is a non-end of year post. How bizarre. And in this case it is to crow mightily while also banging the drum for persistence. You know that old line about you wait ages and then three busses turn up at once? Well it appears to hold true for writing of short fiction…

It’s that time of year where people recap their writing successes and I jump on the bandwagon with my meagre offerings and a bit of free fiction. But this year I…

Recurring dreams and dusty attics
Proving that story publications are like busses, I’ve another new one for your perusal. This time it is a story of old childhood memories and how market forces affects them. Or something. Anywho, you can find it in Kzine issue 30 and it is called Gentrification and the Dream House. This one had an odd gestation in…

You can find it here The anthology is a collection of relaxed stories ideal for a restful afternoon, something we could all do with these days. Apparently they had volume…
