Tall Tale TV Performs ‘Hide and Hunt’

I feel lucky to have had my short story ‘Hide and Hunt’ performed by Tall Tale TV. The production was of a gratifying high standard, both in its execution and the apt graphic used to accompany the tale. I wrote this story quite a few years ago; it had it’s first outing in the Existence is Elsewhen anthology published by Elsewhen Press in 2016. It’s great to see it out in the world again.

Thanks again to Chris Herron at Tall Tale TV for his friendly and efficient handling of the process from acceptance to contract and the rather wonderful performance of the story itself.

The Martian Wave – 2024

I’m very happy to announce that my short story, ‘Finders Keepers’ has been published in this year’s edition of The Martian Wave by Hiraeth Publishing. This is a story of exploitation and the bravery of the few who stand up for what is right. It is set in the same universe as my SF books and explores the pivotal moment in history when the planet Ghyllach and its valuable crystal resources are first discovered by the Calestis Coalition of planets. The profiteering mining consortium soon discover they have bitten off more than they can chew!

Amazing Stories publishes ‘Best Case Scenario’

I’m happy to announce that the well respected magazine Amazing Stories has published one of my short stories. This wouldn’t have happened without the help and support of my writing groups. Thank You! Solid and professional feedback is what all writers need and I’m lucky enough to have professional writers, who have, over the years, turned into good friends, to offer that support. To all new and aspiring writers out there: find a good writing group. It makes all the difference!
