Short Stories 2024
I love short stories, and have published many in a wide range of anthologies and magazines. Several have been broadcast on BBC Radio 4. My latest story, Mid Century Modern, was published in September 2024 in the Floodgate Press anthology Night Time Economy.
CLARENCE DOCK
is a short story about a meeting between two old female friends, which unearths a disturbing memory. It is about men, women, freedom and power and was published in the Freedom issue of Popshot Magazine.
DAYS OF THE DEAD
is a dark story about a weekend to Whitby that goes horribly wrong for a group of middle-aged, middle-class, sexually-frustrated old friends. It is published in The Manchester Review here.
DESIRE

AN OPEN LETTER TO BEES
is a futuristic tale about the impact of climate change, in which the bees disappear. Commissioned by, and broadcast on, BBC Radio 4.
