Featured Writer!

With five poems and a story in the recent issue of Journ-E, I have the privilege of being one of the issue's featured writers. The issue is available from Amazon.

After Holmes, Pons!

You may not be familiar with August Derleth's Holmes-like detective, Solar Pons, but a new anthology of fiction featuring the great investigator is now Kickstarting and includes my Titanic-linked tale, The Adventure of the Abyndon Sapphire. If you've enjoyed any of my Sherlock Holmes stories, you're bound to like this too! Don't miss it!

Horror Zine horrors!

The new issue of The Horror Zine is here and it includes four of my poems and a suitably ghastly headshot of the poet! Read them here.

Don't misjudge these anthologies!

If you enjoy drabbles, you'll love this new volume from Black Ink Fiction, which includes one of mine, Misjudged. Spellbound is available in paperback and on the Kindle.

In addition, I have another drabble, Morning, Warming, in the fourth volume of Manawaker Studio's 100 x 100 series. It is also available in paperback and on the Kindle.

Leaves...

...conceal a crime in my horror drabble on Trembling With Fear.

Ending/Starting the year...

...with a poem in the new issue of Exquisite Death webzine. Read The Woodland Song here for free. Enjoy - and all the best for 2026!

Free Reads!

If you are looking for something to read, you might be interested in the latest issues of Phenomenal Literature and Verbal Art, which you can read for free. The one has one of my comic Michal Davenport-Rowndes stories in it and the other has a couple of my poems. Plus, there is plenty more in each to entertain you - enjoy!
