You Will Never Lose Me

Very occasionally stories drop on me out of the blue, and if I'm lucky I've got a pen and paper to hand to jot the idea down before it vanishes again.  This is what happened with my flash fiction 'You Will Never Lose Me' a tale about a knife, a stolen compass, and an unusual method of revenge.  The story has now been published online in Syntax & Salt and can be read for free here.

I'm especially pleased that this issue of Syntax & Salt also contains a story by L.S. Johnson - a writer whose short fiction I've greatly enjoyed over the last few years.

Weirdbook and Wolvers Hill

More reasons to celebrate - my short story 'Wolvers Hill' will appear in the new issue of Weirdbook.  Wolvers Hill is the story of a couple - Fergus and Bisma - whose already strained relationship begins to fray further when they find themselves driving on a road they can't seem to get off, with strange noises in the distance and odd half-glimpsed figures wandering the hard shoulder.

Issue 38 of Weirdbook should be available soon.  My thanks to editor Douglas Draa for selecting my story for inclusion.
