  • So the good folks over at Savage Realms Monthly saw fit to pay me actual cash money for a thing that I made up inside my head!

  • Because sometimes when you get bored of not being a writer the best solution is to just write something and get it out there somehow.

  • A very different piece, this. It’s not autobiographical per se, but safe to say I was not in a good place when I wrote it and neither were a lot of the people I knew.

  • This was written in the late hours of one Friday evening and the early hours of the subsequent Saturday morning in a desperate attempt to have something ready for Stokes Croft Writers’ ongoing storytelling night Talking Tales (I strongly recommend you check out their podcast series on iTunes here).

  • This was written in collaboration with, and at the suggestion of, the lovely and very talented Lisa Rose of Lisa Rose Illustration and Ink Soup; a version with her wonderful illustrations can be found in Ink Soup 8: Ouroboros, available for purchase here.
