I write short, surreal and sharp literary fiction about trying to make sense of this mess.

Shortcomings is my sixth book.
It’s 20 short stories about the human condition, which is a polite way of saying people are a problem.
Between 300 and 800 words. Each a small disaster of its own.
Good for readers who like their fiction short, strange, and bleakly funny.

If it’s unacceptable when Russia bombs Ukrainian schools and hospitals, and it's unacceptable when Iran kills its own people for defying the ayatollahs, then it's unacceptable when Israel kills tens of thousands of women and children in Gaza, and when the USA kills hundreds of children in Iran.

We’ve stopped using “rotfl” because at our age, if we hit the floor, we might not get back up.

There are eight billion people on the planet. A hundred years ago there were barely two billion.
So the issue isn’t that “people aren’t having kids."
The issue, for a certain crowd, is that *white* people aren’t having enough kids.

Being a writer is looking at a perfectly normal situation and immediately thinking:
how can the voices in my head fuck this up for my imaginary friends?

You’d think the world’s first trillionaire would be an elegant, disciplined, frighteningly intelligent, mythically competent, once-in-a-century industrial genius who seemed almost superhuman.
Instead we got Elon.

We shouldn’t stop referring to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor as Prince Andrew just because the Royal Family would prefer we didn’t.
Dropping the title conveniently distances him from the institution, as if his ties to Epstein were purely personal and unrelated to his public role.

Looking for ARC readers for my short stories collection.
In Shortcomings, familiar ideas are pushed far enough to expose what sits underneath. A bullet convinced of its own importance. A prayer answered too literally. A system that works perfectly, as long as you're not the one trapped inside it.

200 years ago: rich men built railways, funded libraries, left a legacy of things that people could actually use.
Now: rich men compete to see who can cut the most jobs, boost the share price, and sit on the biggest pile of cash.
Same egos. Just less to show for it.

When I finally started publishing my writings last year, I never expected anyone would ever read them. A year on, nearly 300 people either paid for or picked up one of my books for free.
Every time I struggle with motivation, I look at the dashboard and I see that it's worth it.
Thank you!

I’m 6'6". People always ask me to grab things from the top shelf. Nobody has ever offered to grab something from the bottom shelf for me.

I really wish more people read my short stories so they could appreciate that the romantic leads in my romantasy spoof are named Carteni and Romona.
Yes, they're anagrams.

People say: “My god is real because they’re mentioned in another religion’s scripture!”
My brother in Raptor, my book about a cat and my completely separate book about a dog both take place in the same museum at one point.
That’s not evidence, that’s worldbuilding.

It's funny because it's painfully accurate.
Most writers would rather fight a goose than tell strangers their book exists.
Yet here we are, whispering "link in bio" into the algorithmic void like Victorian ghosts trying to haunt this space.

The future of literary publishing is short, strange, and slightly unsettling.
1. Attention spans have changed.
People aren’t reading less, they’re reading differently. Short, self-contained pieces fit how we already consume everything else.

I’ve got two dogs and a cat, so I bought one of those robo hoovers to keep the chaos at bay.
It’s loud, obnoxious and not very bright: just yesterday it trapped itself in the corner with a slipper.
