Sorry for the delay, I lost track of days — my brother-in-law came to stay, and we spent Thurs – Sat hiking!
Every Friday afternoon, I’ll write a two-sentence comedy/horror story, based on a randomly generated word. This week’s word is section!
One of the local newspapers from my hometown did a piece on me and my new book, A Chance of Rain! I thought it was rather sweet — I’m very appreciative! You can read the article via the link below. 🙂

See what people have said about my newly-published book, ‘A Chance of Rain’, and the dark little tales within…
‘A Chance of Rain’ is now available on Amazon, in both paperback (£6.99) and Kindle (£1.99) versions!
Hey, guys and gals, I’m extremely pleased to let you all know that I’ve released a book! It’s called A Chance of Rain, and it’s a collection of my short stories — particularly the darker ones!
If you’ve followed my writing for a while, you might know several of these stories, but I’ve included all of the sci-fi/horror that I’ve written, regardless of the platform it was initially published on — so, there’s something new for everyone here. Additionally, I’ve added one extra short story that’s entirely brand new, just to sweeten the deal. 😉
You can find A Chance of Rain on Amazon, available as a paperback (£6.99) and for the Kindle (£1.99). If you fancy buying a copy and leaving me a review on Amazon and Goodreads, it would mean the world to me.
If you are worried that this means there will be no “proper” novel coming from me, rest assured, I’m still working hard on that WIP. 🙂
Here we are! All caught up — on the Reedsy stories, at least! Whew! Took me long enough, didn’t it? Thanks for sticking around. 🙂
This next one was written for the fairly recent contest, Two Hundred. This one was special because not only did it mark Reedsy’s 200th writing prompt, but it was also my 50th story with them, since they started publishing stories on their site! (I had a few stories with them before the site, but I still feel that this is a rather momentous occasion!)
I chose the prompt, “Write a story that involves a mystery — it doesn’t need to be crime-related, it should just include something that remains unexplained until the end.” Such a great prompt, as it can be taken in so many different directions! The title of my short story is In Circles, and — you know how this goes by now! — you can read it here on WordPress, or over on my Reedsy profile.
I just woke up in this place, and I don’t know how I got here. I’m not alone, but I don’t know any of the people that are with me.

Well, that’s that! You’ll have to wait until I’ve written the next one to read it, as we’re all caught up, now! Hope you enjoyed the ride, guys! Oh, and here’s to 50 more stories! 😀
Every Friday afternoon, I’ll write a two-sentence comedy/horror story, based on a randomly generated word. This week’s word is colour-blind!
Hey guys! How we all doing? Sick of this constant barrage of stories yet? Well, I’m afraid we’re not quite done yet — but we’re almost there! This next one I’m really rather fond of. It was written for the contest A Moment Like This, and for a while I was thinking about using the prompt, “Write a story told entirely through one chase scene,” but in the end, I went for, “Write a story about a summer afternoon spent in a treehouse.” I don’t want to become predictable, after all! Anyway, the title of my story is Where the Children Used to Play, and you can read it here on WordPress or over on my Reedsy profile.
They couldn’t climb, so she knew she was safe, even if only temporarily.

Well, until next time, guys and gals — stay safe, and look after each other. 🙂
…and we’re almost there! It’s been fun and furious! This next one was written for the contest Worth the Wait. I chose the prompt, “Write a story about a person waiting for an answer to a question.” It feels like a spiritual sequel, of sorts, to my other short stories Sea the Moon and snoitseuQ and srewsnA. The title of my story is The Lonely Earth, and — as always — you can read it here on WordPress or over on my Reedsy profile!
She stepped barefoot onto the grass, feeling the dampness of the night against her skin.

I’m really enjoying these dreamy, floaty pieces — I’m sure there’ll be plenty more to come!
