Before I started writing novels, or at least publishable novels, I wrote a lot of short stories. Some of the mayhem of that time I’ve tried to get down in my blog post about becoming a published author, which you can read right here. On this page you’ll find some of the stories that came out of that time. Many others came out in either long defunct print magazines, or e-zines that no one will ever remembers, and for them I think I’ll follow the old adage of letting sleeping stories lie. I can’t vouch for the quality of some of what is on this page, so reader beware!

If, however, these aren’t enough for you, then I think there’s about 15 or so more included in my collection, Smiling Exercise, which is still available on Amazon. Details can be found here.

Unthology 8 was a print book, but I like this story a lot – it’s about a robot butler forced from the family estate, to survive in the outside world. In fact I like it so much that I’ve created a page for it on the website, so you can read it here:
