    Catch my writing LIVE

    I had a spurt of doing submissions recently, and happily can now announce that my story Greenlanders is being read at Liars’ League on Tuesday 14th June – a transport themed evening in which I take up the baton for whaling ships and emigrant steamers. I can’t be there as I’m teaching in another part…

  • Awards and Mermaids

    It’s been an exciting week. First I won an award for one of the anthologies I edited for Arachne Press – Weird Lies – The Saboteur2014 Best Anthology Award!

  • Playing at Spring

    We know it isn’t really spring, right? A day lent, as A.’s Ma would have said; but it is doing a fair impression: washing drying on the line, bees in the Pulmonaria, first lunch in the garden (in jumper, but still!), but we are promised the bitter east wind back again, and rain too, so…

  • Dark and Stormy

    Dark & Stormy A Halloween piece … Winter, spicy gingerbread, slavery and marriage to an insanely jealous man … another exercise from WOOA, sparked off by not having got around to submitting anything on the Dark & Stormy theme to Liars’ League, and for once I didn’t come up with a story. I keep dark…
