Title: Lovedealer
Publisher: Ultramarine Literary Review
Details: On 13 March 2025 Lovedealer was published in the Ultramarine Literary Review. The story was inspired by the song of the same name by Esmée Denters released in 2009. It’s a great song and it got me thinking, what if you could buy the experience of being in love in the same way you could buy cocaine or heroin? To achieve this a fantasy setting would be needed but I kept the setting of London, a city I know well. The link to read the story can be found below.

Title: The Signalman’s Son
Publisher: The Wise Owl Online Magazine
Details: On 1 February 2024 my short story The Signalman’s Son was published in the Parakeet edition of The Wise Owl Online Magazine. The story was also available as a Podcast narrated by myself. The story was inspired from my view from a signal box at Sheffield Park station on the Bluebell Railway, a heritage line. I was standing in the box watching how the points and signals worked when a steam locomotive passed, its black bodywork glistening in the station nights. I wanted to set the story on a heritage railway, a location not often seen in fiction. I also managed to write The Signalman’s Son within a week, far above my normal writing speed.
Title: Recuperate

Details: On 8 January 2024 my short story Recuperate was published in Volume 3, Issue 4 of Hearth & Coffin Literacy Journal. The theme of the issue was Burn.

I can no longer find the original piece (it had the rather unimaginative title of Acid Shampoo) but Recuperate is an improvement.

Title: Melancholic
Publisher: Dear Booze
Details: On 7 December 2023 my short story Melancholic was published on the Dear Booze website. My story is inspired by two things. The first is an extract of a song a busker I liked performed about looking up your ex friends and partners online. The second influence was a series of visits to a particular Weatherspoons pub. One Monday evening I popped into the pub and noticed a man staring at his phone surrounded by empty glasses. When I passed through the pub that Friday evening he was still there, in the same seat, surrounded by even more empty glasses. I wrote Melancholic over a two week period.
Melancholic is approximately a ten minute read and can be found below.
