My stories

The Lake

I have seen it all And the electric blue sparking Of dragonflies over still water As deep and as still As an unanswerable question. I saw you too, Brown and naked confidence

The Sculpture

Siege Warfare

As the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle has it:

Dance On Fire - Chapter 12

‘Can you remember, back on the tour bus when we were talking to Suzy about the first time we met?’ Pete said.

The First Computer

Entwhistle Mantelpiece was yet another eminent Victorian without whom a good many of the entries in this… this… whatever it is would not exist.
