This is an interesting little short story exploring a possible afterlife, so I really hope you enjoy it! I think the overall vibes are similar to my upcoming novella Sweet Dream, Bitter Reality and also some of the poems in Aleatory Poetry, so feel free to check them out if you’re interested to see more of this sort of writing from me.

Fly The Nest
Hi there! I have a nice little poem that was previously available in Watchdog Zine for you today, which will be perfect if you like birds (just like my poetry collection On Gentle Wings – trust me, it’s completely full of bird-inspired poetry).
New Book – The Demon Of Darkenhall Lane
Okay, so this will be the last post about The Demon Of Darkenhall Lane, I promise! But the paperback and hardback versions have become available on Amazon if you’d like to head over and buy yourself a copy, so I thought I’d just make this post to update you on that – I know I’m really excited to get my hands on my copy once it arrives haha.
Release Day – The Demon Of Darkenhall Lane
Couple of quick questions for you today! Do you like fantasy novels, specifically fantasy of manners? Are you interested by the concept of a fantasy city with a fiercely hierarchal, Victorian-esque society/technology level where Demons, Reapers and Souled (the normal humans) live side-by-side in an uneasy, gossip-fuelled coexistence? Does the added element of a slow-burn gay romance alongside a complex mystery narrative intrigue you?
An Introduction To… The Demon Of Darkenhall Lane
Hi there! With work on The Demon Of Darkenhall Lane continuing and nearing completion, I thought I’d take some time to explore everything you might like to know prior to reading the book upon publication.
Me And E
A couple of fun updates this week! The Demon Of Darkenhall Lane’s formatting is coming along nicely, and it should be ready for publication in early July. I’ve also decided to participate in Camp NaNoWriMo again this year, with a new project which I’m keeping under wraps for now, so stick around if you’d like to learn more as I get ready to reveal the details! For the post, I’ve decided to highlight a fiction piece, Me And E, which was previously published in TUGZ Magazine’s second issue – it’s got a bit of a dystopian vibe to it, so I hope you like it!
Take Me With You
For this week’s post, I’ve decided to highlight a poem which was available in Issue Five of Ouch! Magazine, but is unfortunately no longer available. It’s got some pretty cool space vibes and I’m pretty happy with it, so I hope you enjoy it! Look out for some more news about my next novel release, The Demon Of Darkenhall Lane, next week!
Love Letter Penned By A Pining Princess
For this week’s post, I’ve decided to highlight a poem that was previously available in TUGZ Magazine but unfortunately isn’t accessible at the moment. Nevertheless, I’ve got it here for you today and it’s suitably based around LGBT+ themes, particularly trans romance, for Pride Month. I hope you enjoy!
Weight Of A God
Before we get into this week’s flash fiction piece, have you checked out the completely free ebook copy of On Gentle Wings available at Smashwords? If not, I would highly recommend giving it a go – and if you want to really support me, consider buying a print copy at Amazon, leaving a review for the collection wherever you accessed it or checking out my Ko-Fi. With all that being said, I have a flash fiction piece for you today which was published by Adoxography Literary Magazine in their second issue and unfortunately is no longer available, so I thought I’d share it here.
