Introduction

Welcome to my web site. The purpose of this web site is to function as a showcase for my writing. I will be updating it regularly and posting new stories, which you are free to download and hopefully recommend to your friends. You will find my stories, strangely enough, under stories, top left.
I have had several stories and a novella published on fictionontheweb.co.uk. a site I can highly recommend.
The stories: 'The Unbearable Weight' and 'Lessons in Love'.
 The novella: Money for New Rope (Parts 1,2 & 3), which I am currently working on to expand into a full length novel. Also available to read here is a short story 'Yes, It Is You', which features one of the two main charcters from 'Money for New Rope'.
Another story here is ,'In Praise of an Older Man' which does not appear on fictionontheweb.co.uk.
