ORIGINAL STORIES

My short story collections, Something Special and The Woman in Red are available at the Amazon bookstore in eBook and paperback formats. See my author page on your regional Amazon store.

Welcome to this collection of fantasy, horror and mystery short stories. Trapped in his memories, a man must find a way to escape the past in order to live for today. And tomorrow. How do you return to the world when someone who’s changed your life abruptly leaves? A woman must discover her own power in order to gain her freedom… Following the mysterious death of several horror writers, an up-and-coming author discovers that he may be too close to the truth for his own good… In the centre of a series of mysterious deaths, a woman and her unexpected allies must get to the truth before it’s too late… What horrors lurk under the sand?

The theme of this collection is: what happens if your understanding of the world is completely upended? Imagine meeting someone who, simply by existing, makes you think that everything you know might be wrong. Would you kill them? How would you react if pieces of your life were disappearing from the world and from everyone’s memory? Except yours. What would you do if a stranger pointed you to an unmarked grave? And the victim was someone from your past. Will Fallon has had some extraordinary adventures, but they pale compared to his meeting people who shouldn’t exist. Little Kaylee is awakened early Christmas morning by a strange man who says her home has been targeted. For tinselation. The collection also includes a sneak preview of the upcoming novel, A Familiar Voice.

Voice actor Alia E. Torrie narrates my story “Lizzie and Me” from Something Special.  You can find it on YouTube and Spotify

BIG FINISH DOCTOR WHO

Big Finish is a UK-based company that is licensed by the BBC to produce official Doctor Who audio dramas. They have published two of my stories, “Landbound” and “Battle Scars”.

My Doctor Who story, “Landbound“, was the winner of the 2017 Paul Spragg memorial short trip at Big Finish.

He was the captain of a ship once. Since being stripped of his authority, he is lost. Landbound. Then he meets a kindred spirit, a man who has also lost something. In a small seaside town, both Ronald Henderson and the Doctor want to move forward, but one of them must first come to terms with his past…

In 2019 Big Finish released my second Doctor Who story, “Battle Scars.”  

Nightmarish memories of the Boer War. Crippling debts. An unconscious stranger in the garden. Arthur Daniels is beset with problems. Little does he know that his proposed solution could be the biggest problem of them all: a voyage to America aboard the RMS Titanic.
