And Breathe!

Hello, dear reader!

It’s fair to say it’s been an interesting time of late.

Those who are regular readers of these poor offerings will remember that last week’s post was a short and somewhat cryptic one and, as intimated, this was from necessity.

But, time has passed and, with the full permission of Tina, my ever-exemplary wife, the time has come to lift the curtain on the reasons for that. Something I’ll do right now.

Not Now

Hello, dear reader!

It’s a short one today.

There is much I could talk about, much I probably will talk about, but not right now.

No, this is one of those situations where a little distance and a little more certitude in regards to how recent events are resolved is needed.

I know that is vague and more than a little mysterious but that is by necessity so, hopefully, you won’t mind too much if I keep the curtains closed for now and revisit things next week.

Until next time!

Hey, there! If you enjoyed reading any of the above, why not take a look at some of my published work? Below you’ll find links to a number of short stories I’m lucky enough to have included in anthologies. I’d love to know what you think. My debut novel, The Heart That Died, is available now as both paperback, E-book, and on Kindle Unlimited, so I’m adding the link to that, too.

Oh, and if you like what you look-see, a nice, positive review would also be most welcome.

New Tales Of Old

Pestilence: Drabbles 1



Reaperman: Drabbles 3



The Musketeers Vs Cthulhu

Ripley, Believe It Or Not

Hello, dear reader!

And welcome to the beginning.

Yes, this most humble offering constitutes the very first blog post of my 52nd year clinging to the surface of this rapidly spinning ball of rock and showing the odd sign of life.

And the transition between the years of my ever-increasing age has been quite eventful.

Push It real good!

Hello, dear reader!

And welcome to the end.

The end of what, you may ask. The end of the world? The end of this blog? (you should be so lucky) The end of life as we know it?

Well, no. Nothing quite as dramatic.

I’m talking about the end of my 51st year of continual existence.
