31 January: I've been working hard in the new year and have already submitted a raft of short stories and 'flashes' to the Binnacle ultra-short contest, Charnwood Arts miniwords contest, and various publications including six little things and Dog Versus Sandwich. Now I sit back... and wait!

3 August: I've just finished the first draft of a novel, Gleams of a Remoter World, which is set in Ireland. It tells the story of a paranormal journalist who goes to Galway to investigate tales of a haunted church, but doesn't find quite what he expects.
