I haven't spoken much about it on the site, as writing it has been driving me nuts :) But I'm just about to send the next Atomic Wasteland story (Cryoskip's Footprints) off to Lynn (Red Adept) for editing.
My original plan was to finish the story by the end of February, but for some reason the words for this story have been hard to find. Thankfully, I've finally managed to extract them from my brain and get them into the computer. After some revising (and excellent feedback from my beta

Flash Fiction: Pandemic
I originally wrote this piece for Karen Berner's Bibliophilic Blather. Each month she has a specific theme for flash fiction submissions to her site. The theme for April is 'Spring Fever'. I had been watching too much House MD when I read the theme, and this was the result. The original post with the story is here.

Two New Interviews
I've been interviewed again! Two interviews have gone live this week.
The first interview is over at Indie eBooks, a new site run by Nadine Earnshaw that has just started up. The second interview is over on Tales and Troubled Times of a Hungry Author, run by Roberto Scarlato. Both interviews feature "The Outsider" as the book I'm talking about.
Thanks to both Nadine and Roberto for interviewing

Sample: The Outsider, part 2

“Oh, yes,” replied Doc Tanners. “Luckily, his

#ROW80 Round Two - The Goals
So, another round of ROW80 is upon us. And now it's time to come up with some specific goals to work toward for this round.
I may add to this list of goals, but for the moment I'm going to go with the following:
Complete a short story at the end of every month - I don't really have an option with this goal. I've made a booking with my editor to submit a short story at the end of every month, so I need to get those stories written.
Get Gears of Wonderland to beta readers by the end of
