Ants and Wasps and...

...won't be spoiling things for me as they've helped me achieve a win in the 2018 Erewash Summer Garden competition! You can read my story here (scroll down).

You can also read my poem Waltzheimers on the Write City Magazine.

The Change...

...is available now for your to read on Strange Fictions.

The Change is upon me. It is a painful necessity. I am incapable of going on as I am. The ability to Change was engineered into us, the Explorers, so that we could cope with the rigors and dangers of our infiltration and reconnaissance missions. We are the future, yet we are cut off from our people by what has been done for us. We are separated from our own kind and from those amongst whom we walk, forever alone.

For those of you on Facebook, you might be interested in visiting my author page, which is an even more frequent source of updates on my published work than here.

Cowboys and Aliens!

Okay, I'm misleading you with this post title as the cowboys and aliens aren't in the same piece... but you can read both online now!

You can read my Western revenge tale, A Flower for Estrith, on Near to the Knuckle, while I also have a scifaiku on Scifaikuest Online.
