There's a website for my professional writing. There's one for my collaborations with the children.
This one is for the other stuff.

Updates (& sample stories)
I badly need to do a proper site update – so watch this space – but in the meantime, here's the latest news...
I have had six (I think) pieces selected for publication in this wonderful flash fiction/poetry anthology, FromOneLine (Vol 2), which has grown out of one of my favourite Twitter prompts. Click on the thumbnail to be taken to the website of independent publishers Kobayaashi Studios – and discover how to purchase a paperback copy or eBook, in the UK or worldwide.
I'm also one of a record-breaking 1,000 authors included in this award-winning collection of 81-word stories. (In fact, I'm No.81!)
With profits going to The Arkbound Foundation, a UK charity boosting accessibility and diversity in publishing and journalism, the Saboteur Awards "Best Anthology" of 2022 is available from Victorina Press here or via Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk and should also be in selected bookshops.

My story "Johanna" has been published in the first Glittery Literary anthology, which is available through UK Amazon (among other places) in paperback here and as a Kindle edition here. Profits go to charities fighting child poverty in the UK.
I am (still) putting the finishing touches to a collection of short stories that span a variety of lengths and genres but are linked around a common theme. This collection, entitled Animus, may be offered on Amazon via Kindle Direct Publishing in the near future. I'll keep you posted.
Some of the stories have been published online. A couple of examples:
Targets in STORGY Magazine
Kom-bat on FlashBack Fiction
I also mention the idea behind the collection in this BackStory interview for FlashBack Fiction.

My story "Purple" is included in a cheeky new collection of purple prose, with a purple cover, entitled Sensorially Challenged Volume 1. Available in paperback and eBook editions, it contains 100 bite-sized stories from 100 authors, each bursting with more-or-less-intentional sensory overload (the stories and the authors!)
All profits go the National Literacy Trust, a charity that works to give disadvantaged children the literacy skills to succeed in life.

I also have a story published in Adverbially Challenged Volume 2 - a surprisingly educational, frequently amusing and occasionally thought-provoking collection containing 100 adverb-riddled entries from Mike’s Not-Entirely-Serious Wantonly-Rule-Breaking Adverb Writing Challenge on Christopher Fielden’s website.
All profits go to First Story, a charity changing lives through writing.
