My story “Submissions” is coming out soon in The New Flesh. This follows “While he Lay Crumpled” from a few weeks ago, but is a very different kind of story. New flesh is a very creepy online magazine. Read the latest stories here. As usual, I’ll update when the story comes out.

The New Flesh
My story “While he lay crumpled” has just been published by the new online magazine The New Flesh. It’s pretty new, so there are few stories there at the moment, but somehow I’m expecting big things.
Read While he lay crumpled.
Automated Service is out
234 or so words – Automated Service – published in Flashes In The Dark for August 11th. Funny? Horrorific? Quirky? Quick read? I thought for a moment adding a bit of a rant here about modern technologies and customer service, but the story kind of says it really.
QuasarDragon
Discovered a very cool blog called QuasarDragon with lots of links to free fantasy, science fiction, horror and so on stuff – mostly online fiction. It’s a good way to keep up with goings on in the world of genre fiction on the web. Full Disclosure – some of my stories have been linked to from the site.
Automated Service – new story coming out soon
A quirky little story is coming out in Flashes in the Dark on August 11th. Horror with a mix of humour. Will post again when it’s out.
Static movement
That ultra-short story Not Today Cheree is out now in the August issue of Static Movement. Loads of other great writing to check out in the magazine too.
99 word story coming out in August
I wrote an ultra-short flash story – fits in the under 100 words category. It will be coming out in the August issue of the fabulous Static Movement magazine. Check out earlier editions – there’s heaps of great writing there. I’ll post a full-link when the edition is published.
Flash Fiction challenge story published
Powder Burn Flash posed and interesting challenge: write a story that involves a wedding cake in the middle of the road – however you pursue that idea. It’s both invigourating and challenging to write with a distinct and especially weird constraint, and I really wanted to make the challenge idea critical to the story, rather than just adjunct (say by shoe-horning the wedding cake into an existing story).
I’m pleased with my story – Crossing County Lines – it’s very stripped back with lots for the reader to fill in, but I do think that the wedding cake in the middle of the road remains integral to the piece. If it was taken out, would the story work?
Under The Stone Bridge
My story Under The Stone Bridge appeared in Flashes in the Dark on June 25th. Yes, creepy horror again. Flashes in the Dark is a very cool and dynamic site – a new story every day, plus Lori Titus’s serial; definitely worth a visit and a read.
Zombies ..
New story -“To hold her one last time” – just out on Microhorror now.
Yep, I succumbed and wrote a zombie story.
