Updates (aka what do you mean it’s December?!)
I haven't put too many posts up lately, especially the second half of this year. I'd love to say it's because I've been busy... I can't, I can't say that. Well, I guess I can, if you count scrolling through social media in order to do prompt stories, or look at vidoes of cute animals. … Continue reading Updates (aka what do you mean it’s December?!)
Malarkites Assemble!
Malarkey's Imaginomnibus is the brainchild of writer Ross Young. He has gathered some of the greatest fantasy and scifi indie writers, and me, in order to put together a set of amazing anthologies. I have been lucky enough to have now been in two of these books: Hubble Bubble was out last year and this … Continue reading Malarkites Assemble!
What is fantasy? Part 1?
As soon as I wrote that title, I was drawn to the famous line of Queen. Is this the real life or is this just fantasy?

This is not a story
I feel that the title of this post would make a rather good story title, or maybe a poem. But alas, it is purely factual in that this really isn't a story. This is a post to just allow me to ramble about writing. Or more accurately about the things that stop you from writing, … Continue reading This is not a story

I ended up as part of the Malarkey panel for the Writing Community Chat Show Halloween Party which was broadcast live on youtube! You can … Continue reading Hubble Bubble, a new book and a live stream too!
News! Ish
So, not a story this time. Not even inspired ramblings of an insane writer slowly trying to procrastinate instead of work. Well, the procrastinating bit probably is correct but anywho. No, this blog post I thought I'd talk a bit about what's going on in my writing world. First things first, August Shade and the … Continue reading News! Ish

Library of memories- A #MidWeekFlash short
This was written in response to the picture prompt by @PurpleQueenNL for the midweek flash challenge Week 293. See the picture here. ‘Well, this is unexpected.’ Eleanor’s head snapped up in surprise as Thomas wandered into the library. She was perched on a step halfway up the elaborate staircase that took up the centre of … Continue reading Library of memories- A #MidWeekFlash short
