Coming soon...

Very pleased to announce that my 2,776 word science fiction story 'Jump, and I'll Catch You' has sold to one of my favourite venues, Daily Science Fiction. This will be my fourth sale to appear there. The story will go out later in the year, first to DSF's email subscribers, then follow on the website a week later. You can sign up as a subscriber, and receive a free story in your inbox every week day, at the main site here.

Also, the third volume in my Transient Tales series of short collections is being prepared for publication and will be available in ebook format soon. Volume 4 is scheduled for December 2014, and will be followed by an omnibus edition that collects all four volumes in one edition--ebook and paperback.


The Transient Tales Series: 20,000-word collections of science fiction, fantasy and horror short stories, ranging from light to dark and all shades in-between.

Volume 3 features demonic spiders, robot wolves, witches, doppelgangers, carnivorous plants, reclusive psychics, immortal gang bosses, apocalyptic survivors, alien voyeurs, flesh-eating criminals, clairvoyants, and God

  1. Congratulations on the DSF sale. A Friday story! I'm inspired by your collections, I really must get round to doing something similar, one of these days. Any tips?

    1. Yeah, it's my first longer story, rather than flash - very thrilled! You totally should do a collection of your stuff. It's a learning curve, but not that bad - especially if you use Scrivener? It produces really clean ebook files.

    2. I use Sigil, and I like the results. Also a steep learning curve, though.

  2. Ooh, I love the title. Congrats on your sale to such a cool market. I adore my email subscription to DSF--on my lazy days, I read their email story before I even get out of bed.

    Your description of Volume 3 is like a lovely writing prompt--wonder how many can be combined into ONE story. ;) (Kidding) That's some exciting stuff--looking forward to reading it.
