Five Year Project: August update

In a few days time I’ll be selling Walking the English Coast on Amazon, as a re-seller, and signed copies will be available!

I’m taking part in Misha and Beth’s Five Year Project and my five-year goal is to write a novel and get it published.

Forget the novel! Today I have some great news!

At long last, you might say. And it does seem I’ve been working on it for ages.

It’s 246 pages long
Contains over 30 photos and illustrations

Being Tim: on the web

A short story published

‘Being Tim’ was published on The Writer’s Hub. This is the same story that appeared in the 44 Square: anthology of new fiction, and I am delighted to see it is now on the website.

Letter to Oliver: short story

Published in an anthology.

This month I was lucky enough to have a short story published in 44 Square, the annual journal of new fiction, published by Birkbeck, University of London.

The journal features some excellent work from a bunch of talented writers, and I feel honoured that my short story, Letter to Oliver, was selected for publication.

This is the second time I’ve had a short story selected for the 44 Square journal. Once was wonderful, but to be accepted twice represents a huge achievement for me.

You can read my story, along with all the other included pieces, by downloading a PDF of the anthology. It’s free!

Fiction - short story published in anthology

One of my short stories is published in a literary anthology, 44 Square Fiction, published by Birkbeck. The contributors are listed on their website, including a very nice set of caricatures of all of us.

Winning a short story competition

Time to boast? So sorry, but yes, I won the Crime Story Competition in Writing Magazine and my short story was published in the January 2012 edition of the magazine.
