If you show someone something you’ve written, you give them a sharpened stake, lie down in your coffin and say, ‘When you’re ready.’ - David Mitchell, Black Swan Green

Hello and welcome to my site.

All I’ve ever wanted to do is write. To tell stories. To puzzle out the absurdities of the world through fiction.

How do you tell a writer from a wannabe-writer? Writers write. It doesn’t even matter if nobody’s reading - they have to do it, they don’t have any choice.

And so now I have this website, for my writing. So sharpen up those stakes - and get reading!

That’s enough about me. (Besides, I do more than enough writing about myself over at my blog.) If you like what you read here, more will be added soon. Subscribe to the feed and I’ll post updates when new stories go up. All feedback and comments are gratefully received.

If you build it, they will come…
