No, I Haven't Gone Away

No, I haven't gone away...

Not yet, anyway.

Here's the thing. I had given up on blogging but I have been working hard at my writing, studying English Literature and Creative Writing, and yes, writing a lot.

So I thought I might take a moment to update you, maybe see if I can find a few more readers on here, maybe even sell a book or two.

There, I said it.

The life of the obscure short story writer - and a sometimes self-published one at that - is delightful but you do want folks to read your stuff, and actually there are some who want to. But it is difficult reaching people. It is hard to get published and harder still to publicize what you have written.

Enough whining.

This is to let you know that I am going to try to post more regularly and that I am considring posting some of my unpublished fiction.

Feedback on that ideas is welcome.

Meantime, here are two links to get things rolling.

'A Timne for Every Matter' is on Page 49 of theApril-June 2017 Sentinel Literary Quarterly. Free read. Enjoy.

A Time For Every Matter

'A Crack in Everything' is my first book of short stories, a couple had been published previously but most are fresh pieces. Not free, but worth the £7.99, or whatever the comparable amount in the currency you live with. If you are not keen on Amazon, your local book store can order it for you. Go on, I dare you. Some have found it moving, others perhaps troubling. My favourite review: 'Bought it. Read it. Like it.' Love it. Enjoy.

A Crack in Everything

Happy reading.
