This is the feed for my blog. I update the blog... occasionally? What's a phrase for "Not Terribly Frequently" that makes me sound busy rather than lazy? "When the mood strikes?", "As time allows?", "Every fortnight?" Hmmm.
I update the blog as much as I can. I'm writing, you know.
I’ve placed a link to buy my chapbook via PayPal over on the toolbar to the left. Please include any shipping info in the memo box. It’s $8 with shipping in the U.S., if you need it shipped outside the U.S. please drop me an…
This isn’t my Context report, rather the reason I’ve been busy the last few weeks. I’ve been putting together a chapbook of my poetry and wanted to have it ready for Context. Made it, with just a couple of days to spare. 48 pages of…

Ok people. Here’s the deal. I’ve been challenged. That’s right – challenged right here on my own home turf. Mercedes M. Yardley challenged me to see who can qualify for the Horror Writers Association first. Right here. On my own blog! So, much like Donkey…
I received my contributor’s copy of Cinema Spec: Tales of Hollywood and Fantasy yesterday. I contributed a prose poem/flash fiction piece called “Something with Subtitles, Maybe” to the anthology. I really like the way the whole thing comes together with the Hollywood theme. I’m looking…
I had to sign a couple of contracts over the weekend for pieces I sold recently. Turns out they were both for publishers based in Canada. Just a coincidence, I know, but earlier in the year I had two UK journal acceptances within a few…
