Hello! I am an old crone who very much enjoys reading SF, urban fantasy and horror. I write all sorts, some of it SF, urban fantasy and horror, a lot of it not. Sometimes I can even be funny, so I'm told. My short stories have appeared in the anthologies 'Cold Iron: Ghost Stories from the 21st Century' (Iron Press) and 'Science Fiction For Survival: An Archive For Mars' (Valley Press), as well as in magazines ranging from the literary magazine 'Dreamcatcher' to 'Writing Magazine' and 'The People's Friend' (the latter definitely not SF, urban fantasy or horror). I do regular local spoken word events, and needless to say there is a novel on the go. My new website is currently under construction, and you are cordially invited to come and have a peep at the blogs and free stories there. You can even go mad and sign up for my newsletter! Plus the usual social media stuff. All details below. Thanks for dropping in! (Oh, the picture is of my highly critical personal editor.)

Posted on Sat, 04 Mar 2023
One of my previous cats was quite a hunter and used to bring home her trophies, and we always knew what was coming because she used to let out this primeval caterwaul when she brought something in. It was quite unlike her usual meow, and quite a...

Brilliant stuff. Yep, that's me and cat, under the sofa duvet, ignoring the boiler. When they do tax dreams and thoughts, I foresee a whole new branch of capitalism where you can virtually register your dreams and thoughts in the Cayman Islands...
