Two posts in a year? By jingo!
No, I’m as surprised as you that I have something to say more than once in a year. Anyhoo, first things first. Come the 28th of May, point your Kindles and other electronic reading doohickeys at Kzine where you will find me getting a story published in their Issue 15. I am deeply pleased that…

The Past Does Not Watch Over Us
It is with great delight that I can point to my latest published short story, now available in e-book format in The Speculative Book It’s a story on education, black holes and fighting your parents. It also mentions pakora and features REAL SCIENCE. (I know, I must be mad) as I originally wrote it to…

The Eastercon Of Doing Things
It has been a while since I last posted and, with Eastercon fast gambolling towards me I felt I really ought to do an update. Not much to say on the writing front. Much writing is ongoing but no new acceptances. I am building up a nice pile of stories which are either out for…

Oomph, the anthology from Crossed Genres is released today. Available in both eBook and real, physical, smells funny and gathers dust, paper formats. You can find it here and I look forward to reading some excellent stuff on the lower end of the super hero spectrum. Also, by way of a small plugette for the…

The Return of the Pulp-O-Mizer
It turns out that anthologies are like buses. You wait for ages and then two turn up at once. Today the TOC for Oomph got announced and so, by way of celebration, I’ve been farting around on the Pulp-O-Mizer site again. So, coming soon in Oomph is; and in Caledonia Dreamin’;

Caledonia Dreamin’
Not posted here in a while due to mucking about with a novel length piece of nonsense and so not much happening. (Actually, I’ve been watching too much Doctor Who in the run up to the 50th anniversary but I like to fool myself I have a reason for not writing so much short fiction…

Mud, mud, glorious mud
Well lummee! The purple patch is now looking like a small purple lawn as the fine people in charge of an anthology called Caledonia Dreamin have accepted my story. Excitingly, the last plan I heard featured launching the anthology at World Fantasy Con, which I will be at, so I may get the chance to…
