I haven't sat down to draw one of my characters in a long time, so here's 'mysterious stranger' because if I revealed who he was, he wouldn't be quite as mysterious... and also a short comic about assassins, suggesting it's dangerous to walk up and surprise one with an unexpected act of affection!

I really need to catch up with my social media. Acceptances from Sabr Tooth Tiger Magazine for their inaugural issue, also Empty Stars, then capping all this off with my first haiku coming out soon in Heterodox Haiku! It's been a busy week!

Through visceral, bodily imagery & raw emotion, @meanerharker.bsky.social captures what it means to feel monstrous & human all at once. A celebration of courage & resilience, this personal piece lays bare the emotional & physical toll of pain, disability & uncontrollable change.

Excited to be a part of this special anniversary addition. My poem is a raw, personal expression of dealing with pain, disability and change. I have included it below. Please be aware it could be triggering, although I wrote it more as a celebration of courage & resilience. Enjoy

I had the honour of being interviewed by Libre where I speak openly about my writing, the writing community & life in general. I hope it conveys a message of hope & the realisation how precious the people and connections we make are for getting us through the dark.
