anthologies AND
​Magazine PUBLICATIONS


It's always thrilling to see my short stories, poems and non-fiction articles venture out into the big wide world. I've been featured in print and digital publications in the UK, USA, and Australia, in around one hundred different print publications, including over a dozen anthologies. It blows my mind. Writing shorter pieces of work is a superb way to break up the many, many hours spent drafting, editing, polishing, and pouring over a novel. I love being able to come up all kinds of crazy concepts and simply seeing where they take me.

First Short Story

​In 2010, my first short story was included in 'From The World's Edge,' an anthology published in the UK by The Short Story Society. The central character is a reclusive woman who is afraid of her past and is surviving on government benefits.
​First Published Poem
​This was my very first poem to ever make it into print, in a compilation, titled, Poetry  by Moonlight. At the time of writing this, I was exploring different styles of off-beat rhythm and rhyme and researching the death of a child and the impact of such a tragedy on the family.
Repudiated Miracle

My child, he is an angel
The goodness, clear as glass
A smile to melt a hardened heart
Features carved into an art

My child, he throbs with joy
Innocence pure and sweet
A hand in mine, clutching life
The reason husband takes a wife

Each moment there to treasure
Diamonds rough and smooth
Asleep I see him in my dreams
Awake my pain is wrenched to screams

Sorrow, my blanket of darkness
Anger coursing my veins
The Lord, illness delivered
Left him enervated, withered

My child, he is an angel
His breath, a whisper vanished
I begged, pleaded, remonstrated
A miracle, He repudiated
