The Ugly, Lovely Town

I’ve made it back from Swansea in one piece, despite engineering works on the line (and an adorable but bored toddler who thought I was a pirate with my trilby on!).My sister made it to graduation.

But hey, taking literature [...]

In January this year my first story was accepted by a paying market. I discovered Flashes in the Dark, nad got my first acceptance from them as well (and [...]

Loose Id: Selkies

Loose Id got back to me about the selkie story a couple of days ago. They said they really liked it, but it’s not quite what they’re looking for. However, with a rewrite they’d love to see it again.  There’s no major changes, though I think I’m going to include a new scene, and I’m [...]
