Pleased to have my fantasy story, Enryk's Trouble, published in the February issue of Frost Fire Worlds. This is another Evyntyde story, set during the older Waymoorian years. It makes a statement about gender roles. Also nice to have my name on the cover. If you want to purchase it, go to the publisher's web site.
I already have a reprint, 'The Sea Witch', accepted for the What Lies Beneath anthology, published by Thirteen O'Clock Publishing. I am especially pleased to have my original, dark fantasy piece, 'Darkness in the Mountain of Light' accepted by the same publication. For those in the know, this story includes a well known character, Cimiar, an exceptionally talented alchemist.
I expect this anthology to be published in a month or two. This is my second acceptance for 2014 – a good start.

I am excited to announce that my juvenile (to adult) novel, Guardian of the Sky Realms, will be published by Cohesion Press, a relatively new Australian independent publisher. I know the outfit and they are perfect for the job – professional, transparent processes, quality production. Given this positive turn of events, the release day (and the official release) is a bit up in the air.
Stay tuned for more news in the coming weeks.

Extremely happy to see Contrary Cats by Indigo Mosaic Collections come out, including my ghost story set in the UK, 'Pretty Kitty'.
It is always a pleasure to sell stories to publishers in other countries, especially when they are set in those countries, but I also like this story more than most of my creations. I think it is creepy.
Anyway, the book will spider out into online stores very soon, but you can buy a copy now here.
It seems Frost Fire Worlds like me, as this is my second sale to them. My fantasy piece, and Evyntyde story called 'Enryk's Strife' (harkening back to the Cockney Rhyme, 'trouble and strife', will be published in the February 2014 edition. While a classic heroic fantasy piece on the surface, it has to say something about gender roles.

This took me by surprise. I knew my story was due to be published in November, but on a whim I double checked the site, and lo and behold! my story, The Wooden Tomb, is in Frost Fire World issue 2. Very pleased to have published this, as it is a little different – coming of age in an African village, a little bit of horror, and lot of fantasy. It's nice to have found a home for this story dear to my heart.
Pleased to see my flash piece, 'Hills', published. Happy to be among many quality Australian writers on this site. Thanks to AntipodeanSF.
My story is available free of charge to read, HERE.

Charles Day, someone who I respect a great deal, has nice things to say about my debut novel (Guardian of the Sky Realms):
Cheers, Charles!
