Copywriter and sometimes journo. When I’m not writing words for other people, I’m writing weird, funny and dark short stories. If I’ve followed you on here, it’s probably because I’ve read (and liked) some of your work.

Remember dress codes & office etiquette? Just another way for our evil overlords to control us. I’m wearing jammie pants with the Guinness toucan to work now. F the man, am I right? “Lydia Charles” by @beetleholloway.bsky.social is in the 95th! Read it here! www.roifaineantpress.com/post/lydia-c...

Just read the new issue of ScribesMicro with my morning coffee. Made me chuckle, made me think. And made me a tad proud to see my micro 'Taking a Break' about dystopian TV in the mix. www.fairfieldscribes.com/issue-54.html/
