Hello lovelies! A quiet few weeks for me. I found myself fairly unwell for a couple of weeks and spent most of my time in bed or too sluggish to manage much. The absolutely blistering heat seems to finally be packing itself up and while, mentally, I’m euphoric about the return of some lovely gloom…
Hello, here I am, squirreling away a quiet moment while I drop asleep at the office. Rain isn’t here, but it’s due, and I feel delightfully slow and sleepy while it brews. A couple of weeks ago I project hopped to a story called The Lightning Heartbeat – and mentioned how it wore many masks,…

Hello, my lovely little experiments. Hex-Periments, A Dark Biotech Anthology is now LIVE. My quiet horror piece What the Waves Return, a tale yet again indulging in my fascination with ocean dwellers, will be hiding somewhere in these pages, surrounded by other fantastic stories. When dark science and mal-intent splice with the otherworldly, such hex-periments…
