This weekend is Readercon, one of my favorite conferences in the world and, although this is only my second, one I’ve all but sworn never to miss. I love the people, the panels, the bookshop (especially the bookshop) and the level of conversation that happens here, wide-ranging debates that cover everything that has to do […]
I’ve been trying to return to my writing lately, sitting down at the keyboard and banging away in the mornings before work. It’s been sort of working; although I’m still quite rusty, the things that are beginning to appear have some promise. This is what came out this morning. There are reasons, I suppose, why […]
People who have read drafts of my novel, Bones of the Angel, will be familiar with Caliban “Callie” Davies, the paranoiac techno-geek who comes to the aid of my heroes. Today I sat down to get some writing done before supper and banged out about 730 words of… Something. This isn’t how I expected the […]

It’s not as catchy as Wolfmother, but it strikes me as an excellent title for a fun pulp paperback kind of book, which, you know, wouldn’t be a bad thing at all. Games, books, films, all these media types need a good dose of fun, and I think working under a title like Children of […]

My word. i’m not sure – it is, after all, just a first draft – but I think I finished my novel. Bones of the Angel. The ending sort of crystallized in my mind this morning and I sat down with the laptop, and thirty pages later I’d wrapped it all up. The ending is, […]
As promised, I’m happy to release out into the wild another one of my older stories, a sci-fi thriller called Green. It’s a novella (approx. 20 pages) about two doctors who are on a God-given mission to revolutionize the prosthetics industry. When one of them returns early from a vacation to the Himalayas, his discovery […]

On the advice of a friend, I’ve decided to release my next piece as a PDF instead of a microsite. It’s 25 pages long and formatted for regular printing on 8.5×11 in black and white. Please let me know if you have any problems. Small States was my senior creative writing project, a love story […]

Those of you who have known me for a while will remember the short fantasy novella I wrote way back in high school, NeverJack. I’ve been meaning to post it in its entirety here one of these days. That’s today. I was going to post it in installments, but then I realized that to post […]

This was a short story written back in 1999, about what happens when the ghost of Albert Einstein meets the thunder god Thor on a park bench in London. It is, of course, a story about ego.
