Goodbye and Hello.
So that’s (very nearly) it for 2012. I was going to do some kind of review of the year post but I ended up being busier than expected so that didn’t happen. I may yet still do one. 2012 was a weird one for me. It was mostly good, and it was remarkably busy, and […]

A New Story
A few years ago I tried to write a story about a boy who, without meaning to, affected the weather. For whatever reason I didn’t finish it or make it into anything I’d be happy putting my name to. A few months ago, however, I went back to the idea, starting pretty much from scratch, […]
