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 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 |
