I'm gonna git you Succour

Times are hard for writers, as they are for just about everybody, and short stories are especially hard to sell. Most publishers won't even touch a collection, while the number of publications interested in quality short fiction seems to dwindle year on year. Succour Magazine is boldly holding out against the tide. One of my stories, 'Kutb', appears in the latest edition: 'Fantasies'. You can buy your copy here.

Victorian Verb

On Friday 8th May, I will be joining Barnsley’s finest, Ian McMillan, on a Victorian-themed episode of Radio 3’s ‘The Verb’. My contribution to the programme, ‘The Chronic Omnibus’, is a tribute to (and possibly a pastiche of) early science fiction, or scientific romance, as the young H.G. Wells liked to call it. I will be acting opposite Ewan Bailey and sitting around a table with Toby Litt and Ergo Phizmiz. Tune in for a night of gruesome poetry, music hall banter and the deep weirdness that is ‘point balling’.
