Recently I was asked to write a guest blog post for OCA (Open College of the Arts) with whom I am currently studying a Creative Writing degree.

You can find the post here:

WEBSITE NEWS

My website will be going live on Monday.

As it goes live, there will be a short story for you lovely people to read. I'm going to continue posting work in the near future; I would love to hear your feedback, and if you like my writing, feel free to pass the link to my blog and website on to others.

I am currently in the process of writing another short story (which may turn out to be a fairly lengthy one), and I will keep everyone updated with that as I write it.

If you want to subscribe to this blog, you can click the 'Subscribe to: Posts (Atom)' at the bottom of the page, which will give you the option of where to receive the feed when I upload a new blog post. Alternatively, you can bookmark the homepage and keep checking in, or view my blog posts on the website (when it's up!)

That's all for now. I'm excited to get this moving.

SHORTLISTED FOR wordhut.com's 7th SHORT STORY COMPETITION

So my first blog post starts off with quite a lot of news.

I posted a 1,000 word story to the wordhut.com 7th Short Story Competition last month, and I'm pleased to say I made it to the shortlist (top ten). This was the first competition I have entered, so to come out with such a good result is excellent news. The story, Ma's Kit, is also up for consideration in another two competitions. I will keep you posted on those.

Here is a link to all the competition wins on the wordhut website - my story is listed underneath the 7th short story category. It wasn't published on the site, but you can read all the winning stories:

In other news, I'm currently constructing a website that should hopefully be live within the week. I'm yet to finalise the address, but am making the final adjustments to the layout and content.

Ma's Kit will be available to read (for free, of course) on my website as soon as it goes live. I'll let you know as soon as that is.

Finally, due to the recent success in the short story competition, I have been asked by OCA ─ whom I am currently studying a BA in Creative Writing with ─ to pen a guest blog to post on the student website. I was privelidged to be asked. The blog will be published, I believe, in the next couple of weeks, and I will provide the link to it through here.

That's all for now. I hope you enjoy reading my stories.
