So, I have taken the plunge. In September, I took a massive step into the real writing world by joining twitter and setting up this blog. I let you lot read my words. Real people - would read - what I had written. This involved a lot of hyperventilating, then excitement, then self-doubt and then … Continue reading To let them read or not let them read…?
Miss Nicoletta and the Mysterious Mecha-Dinosaur
It doesn't take much for the general populace to get excited these days. Even so, the noise and rushing of children closely followed by harrassed nannies piqued my interest. As I followed the hubbub, I realised that something was most definitely afoot. A crowd had gathered that would've put the Great Exhibiton to shame. Unfortunately, … Continue reading Miss Nicoletta and the Mysterious Mecha-Dinosaur
Why do I write?
There was a tag thread going round a couple of weeks ago on asking people why they write. I got tagged a couple of times and realised there is not one reason for me. So I decided to do what any writer would: write them down!! Not just in any old way but in various … Continue reading Why do I write?
Nowhere to run- A short story
The universe just wasn’t big enough for both of them. No matter how far she travelled, to the edge of the Rim and back, there he was. Every. Damned. Time. He was ruining her business. No-one wanted to trust her with their jobs when he kept getting in her way and causing things to get...damaged. … Continue reading Nowhere to run- A short story
It’s now or before (a short story)
“It’s been ages,” he shook his head as we entered the record shop. Something was off. “What are you on about? We saw each other last month.” I headed straight for the vinyl section as we always did and started flipping through the cardboard sleeves. My brother sidled up next to me and started looking … Continue reading It’s now or before (a short story)
The TBR pile!! BOOKS!!!

But maybe we should take a moment to reflect on one of the most important aspects of my Christmas... of … Continue reading The TBR pile!! BOOKS!!!
Todd and the Christmas Party
(For those of you that don't know about Todd, may I suggest you look at a previous post titled Todd-Supervillain's Assistant. Basically, he is a personal assistant, to a supervillain, but not a very good one.) Here is a little extended Todd story for the holidays. -Todd, why aren't you inside? The party is just … Continue reading Todd and the Christmas Party
Shells of light- A mega prompt story
This week I decided to take the prompts from several twitter sources and combine them to create a short story instead of the usual tweet sized micro-fiction. Thank you to all prompt givers and I hope you like this! (#SciFanSat, #SciFiSat, #Satsplat, #SoYouWriteSat, #vss365, #BardBits) It had been days since the creature had cocooned itself … Continue reading Shells of light- A mega prompt story
Tempus Rock Extract 2
The chronometer started to crackle and whirr, the antenna was starting to rotate clockwise then counter-clockwise as it tried to lock on to the year Tobias had programmed in using the dials at the side. He waited, keeping hold of While who seemed to have frozen in place, his eyes wide as if he was … Continue reading Tempus Rock Extract 2
Time Echoes
The cramp in my legs was started to reach crisis level but still I daren’t move. It had to be soon. I was far too worried that I would spook it to move. I knew it was a ridiculous fear but I didn’t want to have to wait another 546 days or however long it … Continue reading Time Echoes
