**PLEASE be patient. This whole site is under re-construction and you may get a few ‘dead-ends’ and/or strange connecting pathways as I work away in the background.

For now, I’ll start with the most recent story first, although I’m only about to begin adding the full story here, and still making decisions about the next two – so no links for them yet.

Bizarre wee Beasties

This time, I’m planning to post the full story here. I’ll warn you – it is BIG – about 30,000 words! And going to be about 20 chapters! The good news is that each chapter is a ‘stand-alone’, being read to a small boy as a bedtime story each night.

Hmm… it may be it will have to be broken up. Time will tell.

The Curse of the Deep Green Blues

Hmm… what to do with this one? It was a second prize winner.Maybe share the whole short story. We’ll see.

The short and the TALL of it All

Another prize winner. Another maybe share the whole?

Small Folk Tales series

They rhyme and sing and riddle, they joke and play knock-knocks, they love messing around with colours and sounds and numbers. What will these Small Folk get up to next?
