Category: My writing updates
Articles, and More Articles published.
As I may have said before, I have a simple system with these. Something sparks a thought, I write the article and it goes to the newspaper where it’s held until they have a suitable space. Sometimes I can have an article in each Saturday for several weeks, and then there may be a gap. …
A TRIPLE SOLD
some months ago I had the idea for three stories, all set on a remote planet and involving the terran ambassador to that world, along with his PA, and an small blue fluffy six-legged alien creature that was a projective empath. The stories were UNDIPLOMATIC, DIPLOMATIC FRIENDS, and APPEARANCES, and I am very happy to …

A Spate of Sales and…
While flat out writing a new book, revising a story collection, and keeping an eye on the farm, sales and publications in my short work have also been nicely on the boil. As follows – GIVE OLD JARS A NEW LEASE OF LIFE in Dannevirke News, Saturday January 17th 2015. FAST, EASY WAYS TO COOK …
In My Spare Time The Other Week
I did a brief poem – which ended up shortlisted on the Wordsworth page in this week’s Listener. (March 7-13, 2015) We were required to take a well-known poem, and boil it down to 4-5 lines. I boiled down Dylan Thomas. It ain’t a bloody ‘good’ night mate, and – I don’t anticipate, Doing anything …
New Story Accepted
Yes, UGLY GIRL has just sold to THE DRAGON’S HOARD anthology to appear from Sky Warrior Books. Happily not only do they have a knack for chosing inmteresting themes, I seem to have a knack for writing stories they’ll like, and long may that continue.
