Rough and disgruntled, waxing lyrically scousical on youth, friends, Clint Eastwood and candy cigarettes. A flash of mine.

It's been online since 20th April. Sheesh, Dogmatika dudes. You might have told me.

Written last week. Subbed on Sunday. Accepted on Monday. Published on Tuesday. I didn't notice they'd published it until Thursday.

It's here. TPG rocks.

Two tiny pieces of mine have gone up on The Pygmy Giant over the past week or so...

...Lola loves loving and Orange in ascension...

...both written as part of the two day Fiction Workhouse flash blast last November. So that's two pieces from the blast with a home. Hmmm. I still have ten to place.

A short story of mine, Sheena Up A Mountain Wearing Flip-Flops, is up on Red Peter today - a damn fine online venue edited by Steve Finbow.

Impromptu vaguely seasonal flash I scribbled this morning in response to a Facebook message from David Oprava. I read it back just now and quite liked it, so figured I'd post it here as well.

Ravi Mangla sent me a link to this blog. Fantastic title but it was new to me, and on 6th December they linked to my flash piece Undo (published on Lit Up the other week) as their #1 top read for the week.

You need proof. Here you go...

I fear the future. I wanted to share that fear. The shape of things to come. On Litro. Now.

Online today. In print tomorrow. 100,000 copies of me being handed out at stations and libraries and things all over London.

Enjoy. And be afraid.

Daft piece of mine just published on Lit Up Magazine.

Do not expect great enlightenment.

'snot bad though.

My short short, "The rest is harvest" just went up on elimae.

I'm quite chuffed.
