What could be better than Red Velvet and Absinthe
If there is one thing I’ve been hopping from one foot to the other dying to squeal over during the last few weeks it was the news that a short story of mine was shortlisted for almost certain inclusion in the anthology Red Velvet and Absinthe. Well, I’ve now had confirmation that my story, ‘Bitter [...]

Stay Tuned
I’ve some very good news pending both to lovers of my m/m fiction and to fans of my more gothic, dark twisted stories, but I’m afraid this is merely a quick dash in and out to tell you that I can’t say more at this time: it’s a bit like selling a house ‘subject to [...]
Byker Books

Not a great start to 2011
Fellow author Lena Austin lost her beloved husband last night after a long battle to save his life over the holidays. Lena helped me with some research not so long ago, and is a lovely and gracious lady who so didn’t deserve this. Our love, thoughts, and heartfelt wishes are with her.
End of year news
It’s way past time I posted an end of year news item, but it’s not been easy. Truth is, I’m waiting on ‘news’ and have nothing much to tell you.Writing wise, ‘Marooned’ was published at Changeling as anticipated. I’ve nothing else subbed to them at present. I’m still waiting on edits for ‘Toasted Almond’ with [...]
Another Paragraph
Paragraph Planet have accepted and published another short paragraph of mine. I know they are only 75 words, but they are good exercises and rather fun to do.

Unfortunately, only subscribers can read this, but [...]
