What Are You Reading?
As a way of honouring my fellow writers, I decided to seek my reading material from my following. I can’t read them all, but if you pop your links to your ebooks in the comments I can pick one at random to buy and read. Consider it free promotion, too, because I’ll do a separate […]

Bonding With My Boy
Today I want to share something absolutely amazing with you all. A few days ago, while I was cleaning up, I caught a glimpse of a notebook in my sons room. In big red lettering across the top was printed the word: STORY. Feeling instantly elated and nostalgic, I backed away and left the room […]

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 […]

Mathew’s Box – Writing Prompt
It was the driest summer since records began. The earth was scorched and barren, stripped of every last drop of moisture from the devilish heat of the sun. The sky was a deep, unrelenting, cloudless blue that beat down like the very gates of hell. Global warming, some said. The new normal, said others. River […]

Him
In response to The Daily Three Things challenge. Silence, Quieten, Sedate. Reality collapses in. Thoughts that are not my own start tumbling across the surface of my mind like debris lashing around in a tornado. I reach for him. He is the silence amongst the storm, he is the calm when the noise becomes unbearable. […]

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 […]

Writing Prompt – you wake up and are surrounded by aliens. Max 500 words.
I knew instantly that they were there, I didn’t need to open my eyes. “Go away…” I grumbled. There was a sharp intake of breath, followed by the flurry and fluster of narrow feet on the wood floor as they scuttled out of the room. I tried to go back to sleep, but my brain […]

Drenched in Moonlight, Chapter Three
It must be the smell, Daniil concluded as he watched his apprentice double over and wretch. The pup had an extra keen sense of smell which would have made the stench within that house, particularly the cellar, almost unbearable. “Jesus Christ!” Zach exclaimed, leaning on his own knees for support. “Jesus had nothing to do […]
