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.)

A lovely poem and so

A lovely poem and so beautifully read. I felt as though you were in the room with me, and we were having a chat. Great stuff.

It isn't bad, is it? Unless it's knocking at your door...
I'm excited to think that you're going to use all your wonderful observational skills on your home city.

How much simpler it would be
Posted on Sun, 11 Aug 2019
How much simpler it would be if people just smiled when they were happy, instead of for other reasons too! 'Happy' is quite a complicated emotion, of course, and means different things to each individual, but it's a nice thought.

All I can say is - exactly so
Posted on Fri, 26 Jul 2019
All I can say is - exactly so! Spun sugar is a wonderful way of putting it. There are things on the news this morning that indicate that it is all indeed a triumph of style over substance. Mind you, I'm not exactly impressed by the style.

Lovely image of friends

Lovely image of friends enjoying food and drink together. I'm not sure I shall ever look at Lucozade in the same way again!

Great build up of tension,

Great build up of tension, with the description of heat adding to it as it goes along, and then the shocking conclusion. Looking forward to the next part.

I had no idea that you moved
Posted on Thu, 13 Jun 2019
I had no idea that you moved in such exalted circles, Rich! Cameron AND Stewart - you have all my sympathy. That we have come to such a pass here that Rory Stewart seemed like the only sane option. I have been following the Democrat debates...

The bunkers certainly weren't
Posted on Sun, 16 Jun 2019
The bunkers certainly weren't intended for us common folk! I remember how they banned 'The War Game' from the telly because they thought it would scare people so much we would all rise up and demand disarmament. I saw it at a film club a few...

Welcome to the site. And
Posted on Sat, 08 Jun 2019
Welcome to the site. And what better debut on a writing site than a horror story all about words! I think quite a few of us probably suffer from Etyopathomania. I really, really want to find a copy of the Humongous Collation of Proverbs and...
