Announcing ‘The Weekly Kook’
I work best to deadlines. I’m more productive with my writing when challenged. In recent weeks, I’ve been getting comfortable again with creating short stories. Sitting down and not getting back up until I’ve neatly captured a story. Start, middle and end. It gives me a real sense of achievement. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been […]
SPARKY – A New Short Story
AUGUST IS GOING TO BE BUSY. Two short stories will be released. The second – a Choose Your Own Adventure, that will test all my patience and creativity. The first… ..well, it’s called SPARKY and it’s now available to purchase for the princely sum of $1. You can check it out on Amazon by clicking […]
The Daily Rot
STARTING MARCH 1ST I’M EMBARKING on an ambitious project which, in equal measures both excites and terrifies me.

What are you reading?
FAMINE OR A FEAST. Or as Mr. Miyagi from the Karate Kid would put it, “Wax On. Wax Off.” Specifically I’m talking about my bookish habits. In recent weeks I’ve been positively chomping through the pages of my ‘to-be-read’ list.
ROT and the Spin-off
THE FIRST FOUR STORIES from the ROT universe are free to download on Amazon. At least, for the next 48 hours. Get them while they’re ROT. Ahem… ROT Series Later this year, I hope to eventually release a spin-off from the series, featuring one of the main characters, Ian. To those who haven’t read ROT, […]
