I’m teaching a short story workshop for Portsmouth BookFest on 1st March. First-timers and experienced writers alike are welcome. Tickets are only £5.50, available here.

What happens when you try to write a story using only one vowel? One possible answer is my experimental story ‘Fast Jazz‘, now up on the site.

It’s been far too long since my last update, so I’ve added two new stories: A Sun in the Heart of London and Sonata for Sausage Roll and Exploding Foam.

Another story up on the site – my short monologue ‘Plimsolls‘.

I’m now involved with an environmental writing project, started by my wife Helen, called Pens of the Earth. Check out our website here.

I’ve been shortlisted for the Dorset Fiction Award. You can read the story here.
