It's publication day! My story 'Lámfada' is published today in Black Cat Weekly #218
My story 'The Fire' has been accepted by 34 Orchard, for publication in April, 2026. A rare non-speculative piece for me. No sci-fi or fantasy in this story. A couple in a flagging relationship go camping. As they kindle a campfire, can they also rekindle their love for each other?

I have been listening to the Audible edition of Gareth L Powell's 'About Writing'. It's very good. Lots of good advice about writing. Some good advice about living, too. And Mr Powell's narration is pleasant to listen to. Recommended.
