Interesting piece, and I'm

Posted on Sat, 09 Jul 2016

Interesting piece, and I'm not sure quite where I stand on this one.  In many ways I agree that if we want quality journalism we should accept we have to pay for it, but the digital genie's out of the bottle with news as with music and other...

Pissing on someone's

Posted on Thu, 07 Jul 2016

Pissing on someone's strawberries will now become part of my lexicon.  Decidedly more evocative than raining on a parade!  As always, this is so wonderfully visual.  The image of policemen with pink binoculars is to be treasured.

Posted on Thu, 07 Jul 2016

The picture is stunning, as are the words.  I suppose I'm reading this as a companion piece to your 'Folklore', so the beauty seems to have a number of barbs.  Particularly liked the verse about history shooting arrows.

Hi!  Welcome to ABC Tales.

Posted on Mon, 04 Jul 2016

Hi!  Welcome to ABC Tales.

Very intruiging start to your story and I am looking forward to seeing where it will go next.  I like the blending of SF and fantasy and the way you contrast the day to day requirements of the narrator's job and...

Clear-eyed about the risks

Posted on Sat, 25 Jun 2016

Clear-eyed about the risks and the fears, and offering encouragement that it can be done.  I felt as thought I wanted to know what had been the tipping point for this woman, what finally made her feel she and her child deserved better.  A good...

I've read both parts of this

Posted on Tue, 21 Jun 2016

I've read both parts of this through a couple of times now, and really enjoyed the lyricism and magic.  I did feel that perhaps there was a little too much back story to start off with - possibly you could have established the circumstances...

Oh dear.  I predict a riot.

Just one typo - when Chantelle comes to join our two heroes, Josiah briefly turns into Joshua.

I don't really agree with

Posted on Mon, 06 Jun 2016

I don't really agree with Phineas on this.  I thought the acceptance of the existence of vampires was an interesting take on a well-known theme, a bit akin to the way Alien Nation or the recent Aliens TV series postulated a world where aliens...

Explosive ending - oh no, not

Posted on Wed, 08 Jun 2016

Explosive ending - oh no, not Marc!  You capture the grubbiness and seediness of power play, and the sadness of the individual lives destroyed on all sides.  This has been a really gripping and enjoyable story.

Posted on Sun, 08 May 2016

I really enjoyed this.  It's a cliche to say 'we've all been there', and maybe not exactly in that way, but the emotions are so recognisable, and the remedies, with personal variations, are pretty universal.  The bit about social media made me...
