A Brand New Story

I have a brand new story up and out there. It’s the first one in a couple of years that you can read for free (if you wanted to). It’s called Sex God and it’s up at Every Day Fiction. It’s a little odd, but I like it. It feels like a good one to […]

She Who Made Me Cry

Cally Taylor is one of my favourite writers. She’s one of my favourite people too, even though, yes, she once made me cry. So I’m thrilled to have her here today to talk about it and, more importantly, about her new book which, trust me, will be excellent. WHY I LOVE MAKING NIK PERRING CRY […]

Newness

An odd thing has happened, and I didn’t quite notice it.
