You can buy copies of my edition at the same Website... so support me guys and girls.

'Monumental Words' was a joy to write and research... I can't speak Latin so it was good fun and I know very little about tombstones! The story is about a guy who moves to a cottage, which overlooks an old graveyard. One day as he takes a shortcut through the cemetary, he notices that all of the stones have the same engraved initials and it isn't R.I.P.

'The Medium is the Message' was also great fun to write and is in part, inspired by a real incident that happened to me. I was crossing the road one lunchtime and was suddenly struck on the back of the head, so hard it almost knocked me over... it was a dead pigeon! The story explores how the main character tries to find the 'meaning' or 'message' in the incident.

And the JT edition of Nocturne Magazine looks pretty fuckin cool with my name on the front this month too...

Nocturne features my take on selling your soul... the scenes occur backwards, though I try and move the plot and suspension of disbelief forwards...
