March 2026

Having completed my music/horror story and submitted it to the intended anthology, I am now between projects. So it’s time for some thought about what to work on next.

As usual, I have a drabble under way. I write these for fun, with no expectation of selling them, although I do occasionally succeed (there are a lot of drabble writers out there!). I expect I’ll compile them into a short e-book at some point.

Forthcoming Public Events

None scheduled.

Positioning

I make no apologies for the following messages. They are important to me. If you don’t agree with them, that’s up to you. But if so, I really don’t think you’ll enjoy my fiction. In which case you might do better to move on.

I hope everyone is keeping safe and well. If you haven’t done so already, please get yourself fully vaccinated against flu and Covid as soon as possible while continuing to take appropriate precautions, whether legally obliged to or not.

I continue to say “F*ck Putin”. Yes, I realise the West is far from blameless, but that doesn’t excuse the Russian invasion of Ukraine or the pounding of residential buildings and civil infrastructure into rubble, killing and maiming many innocent people in the process. Exactly the same applies to the orange idiot and his enablers, also Israel’s government. Stop the slaughter, now! As for Elon Musk and his billionaire pals: words fail me.

The climate emergency is not a hoax. No, it isn’t being exaggerated either. Act now. Demand that your representatives act now. In my pre-writing working life, I was a professional scientist and technologist for many years, so I trust climate scientists in exactly the same way that I would trust a cancer specialist. You should too.
