Had a new #flashfiction story published the other day in the latest Cosmic Daffodil Journal. It's called Befores, and it's a little (okay, a lot) bleak, but I hope people like it. static1.squarespace.com/static/62f08...

I've not written much or had anything at all published over the last two years, but hurrah, the hiatus is over. My bleak lil story 'Befores' will form part of the next edition of the wonderful Cosmic Daffodil Journal - coming soon!

Bought sparklers to wave in the garden to celebrate the new year. None of them light. What a brilliant start to 2026. Happy New Year!

The Long Walk is 2025’s most brutal film – and a reminder of Stephen King’s roots
Too many King adaptations have been cautious, fastidiously reverent affairs, which is why it’s so gratifying to find one that has been allowed some breathing room – and space to be a little lurid, wri...

Features like this are weird. I used to work in the food hall at M&S, but I wouldn't use that fact to presume a position of authority on what the best sandwiches ever are.

When you get invested in a TV show, series one ends on a cliffhanger, then you find out it's not getting a series 2.

I actually wrote stories! Two of them! And submitted them! Wonders will never cease. I'm excitedly awaiting the rejections.

Well, this one's gonna stay with me for ages. The most disturbing, dark, brilliant book I've read in a good while.

Wrote a story for the first time in, oh, six or seven months. I'm not saying it's good, mind you, but it's great to get back to it.

It is traditional in Iceland to give the gift of a book to be opened on Christmas Eve. Books are unwrapped and then read together. It is called Jolabokaflod (Christmas book flood). 📖 🎄 🖼 Reading Girl, Gustav Adolph Hennig, 1828.

Look at the difference in covers between autobiographies by men and those by women. Look how tedious and serious the men's books are, with their grey and black colour schemes. I'm not afraid to read a book with a bit of fucking orange on the cover. But presumably publishers think most men are. Sigh.

Each year, the Christmas decorations go up in my local Spar and they think, 'sod it, break out the Easter chocolate'. I sigh inwardly each time, curse their ridiculousness, and then buy Mini Eggs.

There's a McDonald's radio ad for Happy Meals, which talks tells you (or your kid most likely) can choose to get a Grinch toy or book with it. It ends with the words "Choice of toy or book is between book or toy." This is a weird sentence. It baffles me. What is its purpose?

Four series of it on Netflix. Once you've seen one episode, mind you, you've seen them all.

I've seen more of the TV show Is It Cake than I probably should. This story made me chuckle.

A man stands outside a big hollowed out onion in an idyllic country setting. He narrates "I live in a big onion." We see him inside his cozy onion home, reading in an armchair, a cup of coffee beside him. His bed is perched on a whimsical loft. He continues "I am always crying. Not from the onion fumes. But because I have achieved the dream of home owenership."
