My Brother Bobby
This story about a new baby’s arrival was taken from my self-published collection of YA Horror/ Suspense/ Sc-Fi and Twist in the Tale stories.
An Oxford Christmas Crime
This one was a six-hour story challenge I put out asking for prompts and came up with a short story for the festive season.
The Night of the Tittynope
Another prompt exercise: written for Halloween. An EC inspired over the top spooky crime story
The Chicken Run
Another short from the YA collection Cellar Stories – This one’s about a gang induction… with a difference.
Number Seven
A short story from my first (now out-of-print0 collection ‘Basement Tales’. This serial killer POV story was one of my first published pieces many years ago.
Adventures in Babysitting
Another EC inspired cartoony dark crime/ horror. This one originally appeared in
You Could Make a Killing – a now out-of-print short story collection.
Bad Treatment
A silly little short about a talented but frustrated writer. It’s all about the original ideas…
The Trick of Treat Perspective
Another crime cum Halloween tale. Just a boy and his dad enjoying the holiday season…right?
Another Tale from the Squad Car
I wrote a couple of short dialogues featuring a chalk and cheese cop pairing in You Could Make a Killing.. .here’s another one.
Packing for Goodbye
This was one I thought about including in You Could Make a Killing, but it didn’t really fit. Read it and you might see why.
Flying in for the Holidays
This was a festive challenge for the now defunct Blue Murder magazine. I can’t remember what the words that had to be included were, but they’ll probably stand out…
An Apple a Day
This was my very first published short story – in Quantum Muse. I still have the t-shirt. Even if it’s so faded you can’t make anything out on it.
