Well, thought to hell with it and entered the opening chapter competition with UK Authors - Kangaroo Land has been changed and updated a lot since the summer. New Synopsis: A quirky travel tale in the genre of Stephen Clarke and Bill Bryson. Hope quits England for six months and with an oversized backpack heads to Sydney. Unfortunately, her initial stay is with hip-swinging Tatum who has unique capabilities of transforming herself into the most irritating, whining person ever. Keen to experi… Continue

Aspire

Aspire, the new contemporary poetry journal published by Partners Writing Group, is now in my hot little hand, and my poem "amid a mad, mid-midnight chiming" is there in it. I'm going to reproduce it below for you. amid a mad, mid-midnight chiming My life was pinned by the wings to yours, until the clock stopped, the hanging hands loose to the clockface antipodes, amid a mad, mid-midnight chiming; of which the clangour’s laissez vibrer died to a sub-echo, with the cleated seconds’… Continue

Odds and ends...

I have updated my web site a little again, just to give details of recent haiku published. See the News Updates and Spotlight on... pages. Still toying with the idea of a re-write of the home page, as I feel it is a little stale. Also waiting for the arrival of the October edition of Decanto magazine...

Is there anyone there?

Hi, has everyone gone to ground with the onset of autumn? The site is definately a little light on contributions at the moment, so I thought I had better make an effort. Had another two rejections for my novel `The Newtown Tailor`, but on the up side I have had a poem accepted for an anthology, so not too depressed at the moment. My website is doing okay, but now I need to spend a little bit of time and revamp it. I'm sure I'll find the time soon. The writing group I belong to are getting back t… Continue
