In 2010 I became ill with Prostate cancer. Not a great year for me if I am honest but one that unlocked a hitherto untapped passion for writing short stories. My wife, in a bid to relieve my boredom brought home an old laptop that just about had the ability to run a word processing program. I bashed away on it for hours and let my imagination run away with me with characters such as the nightmarish accuser that is Destiny Sails, to the seductive vengeance of the self-appointed pseudo-deity, Alexis.
One award, multiple publications and a podcast later I now find that I have amassed a small following of lovely fans from all over the world and an inability to stop looking for ways to incorporate my latent positive, and negative feelings into a story. These, however, are my personal favorites, my babies and my therapy and ones that I hope you too will enjoy. There is a lot more of my work out there on the interweb, some of it in novella form and some of it under a different name, but all of them a jolly good read of I say so myself - Which I obviously do.
I am free of cancer now, (Yea me) and now my life is built on the acceptance of difference, the inevitability of change and an alarming lack of cash.
I do have a new laptop though, but where that came from is anyone's guess.
