Hoffman's Creeper

Following hot on the trail of 'The Ritual' published in issue 2 of the AHWA's magazine Midnight Echo comes my latest acceptance 'Hoffman's Creeper' which is now available free from the suitably bizarre folks at Legumeman. Hoffman's Creeper is the story of a botanist obsessed by his family of rare and endangered plants. Their survival depends on him and his love for them is true... as they say, sap is thicker than water.

MIDNIGHT ECHO #2

MIDNIGHT ECHO #2, the Australian Horror Writers Association's official magazine, is out now! If you love dark fiction and artwork then you must grab yourself a copy of this magazine in either the PDF or printed form.

Reflets d'Ombres

For those of you who have read Digging in the Garden in English you can now try your hand at deciphering the tale in French. I am pleased to announce that Mon Jardin d'Hiver has been published in issue 17 of the Gallic gothic literary zine Reflets d'Ombres. Bonne lecture, mesdames et messieurs!

Kangaroo Point

Australian Reader is a webzine dedicated to showcasing true-blue tales told by Aussie writers...

now including yours truly.

Kangaroo Point is a story set in a beautiful location that anyone who has ever lived in Brisbane is sure to know like the back of his angry wife's hand. What happens at Kangaroo Point, as anyone unfortunate to have read one of my works of twisted fiction before will know, is as horrible as the setting is delightful!

I am pleased to announce that the Trost Library has a new tale gracing its shelves. How I became a Criminal is now available to the reading public on the literary fiction webzine, The Beat. I hope you enjoy it and, more importantly, I hope it makes you think...

DemonMinds spring edition

DemonMinds has finally released its much awaited spring edition which includes short stories, poetry and some artwork. Don't miss Looking Forward to the Dusk written by you know who. In other completely unrelated news, I'm currently working on translating one of my stories into French so I'll keep you all up-to-date on that as it progresses.
