• The Creeper of Dirt Alley – Writing Prompt

  Everyone knows to avoid Dirt Alley after dark.  A couple of years ago they put CCTV up at both ends in the hope that it might deter the incidents. Nothing changed.  The problem with Dirt Alley is that it isn’t straight, even though it looks that way on a map. You can’t see the opposite […]

• Drenched in Moonlight, Chapter One

  

  Alyona leaned back in her chair and resisted the urge to tap her fingers on the desk. So, it is you, you hateful little bitch, she thought as she coolly regarded the sixteen-year-old girl standing before her. “Show me your hand.” Talia demanded. Her dark spiteful eyes were narrowed, uncertainty danced across her delicate features […]

• What Are You Reading?

  

  As a way of honouring my fellow writers I recently decided to seek my reading material from my following. I received absolutely hundreds of messages on twitter last week when I began this idea. I can’t read them all but if you pop your links to your ebooks in the comments I can pick one […]

• The Dressmaker’s Room

  

  After unbuckling him from his car seat, I expected Benny to launch himself across the gravel path with his usual buoyancy. Instead, a small hand slipped into my own as he stayed beside me. I was startled to see my fearless five-year-old looking suddenly so small and still. “Skellington house.” I found my gaze drawn […]

• Merely Mortal, Chapter Four

  Luke was still nowhere to be found. Harriet paid for a taxi back to Gran’s flat and Alli gave the address to the driver. The journey took thirty minutes and Harriet sat in silence for the entire time, her gaze cast out and watching the streets as they rolled by. Alli studied her aunt’s countenance […]

• Judgement Day

  I know where I was; sitting on my parent’s couch and watching my good-for-nothing brother manhandle a girl, so intoxicated that she was barely even conscious, towards the staircase. I watched him with wide eyes and my lips pursed tightly, knowing that I should say something and knowing that I should put a stop to […]

• Merely Mortal, Chapter One

  Prologue She awoke to the sound of screaming. Or at least what she first thought was screaming but was actually the braying sound of the smoke alarm shrieking its irritation at being disturbed at this late hour. Allison or Alli-saurus as her dad would joking call her, raised herself up on her arms and peered […]
