Dirty Bristow Issue Two - Beast features my short story ‘The John School.’

80 pages packed with essays, stories, opinion pieces and artwork on the theme of ‘Beast’.
There’s no such cliche here as a ‘difficult second issue’, everything about pulling this together was a complete joy—otherwise we just wouldn’t do it. From being astounded that we managed to flog enough of issue one to make issue two a viable thing, to almost weeping at the unexpected artistic delights that the contributors leaked, it was one tiny gorgeous death after another. Weeping from the eyes. The eyes.
Available to buy here.

Issue 35 of The View From Here features my short story Connecting.

Anthologies

50 Stories for Pakistan is a collection of 50 flash fiction stories by established and emerging authors. Each story has been donated to the collection and the proceeds from every copy sold go to help the Red Cross relief effort in Pakistan.

My story ‘The Man Who Devoured Novels’ is published in the bonus section of editor’s stories included in the collection.

Copies are available to order here.

Chinese Whisperings is a conceptual anthology created by Australian writer Jodi Cleghorn and Scottish writer Paul Anderson. Each anthology is a collection of interwoven short stories by emerging writers from across the English-speaking world. Unlike other anthologies, Chinese Whisperings is created in a sequential fashion. The Yin Book & The Yang Book are available to buy now as separate eBooks or in a collected special edition. My story ‘This Be The Verse’ is included amongst those of the ten male writers contributing to the Yang Book, while the Yin book features an all female roster of authors.

100 Stories for Haiti is a unique collection of stories bound together by paper and glue and massive amounts of hope. This is no ordinary book. One morning a writer woke up and decided, "I must do something." Hundreds of talented authors worldwide sent him their stories and the result is an anthology that anyone can enjoy.

Proceeds go to helping the victims of the Haiti earthquake. So open this book and pick a page. There's nowhere to start and nowhere to finish. If you find one story, one page, one line entertaining: buy it.
100 Stories for Haiti includes my story ‘Impact.’

Elements of Horror is a new collection of over sixty contemporary and realistic flash fiction horror by over forty new and established writers. Each story is based on one of the four elements: Fire, Earth, Air or Water. Elements of Horror features my story ‘Lungs.’

"Craft your definition of love in six sentences, or write a love-themed story in six sentences." That was the challenge posed to the international audience of "Six Sentences," the award-winning flash fiction website. "The Love Book" is the result, and contains the very best submissions to the contest.

6S The Love Book includes an alternate six sentence version of ‘Impact.’
