Just dropping by to say: Happy Solstice! Happy Father’s Day! Happy International Day of Yoga… erm… day! It’s a day crammed with celebrations (even the streets where I live have been taken over by carnival goers and rides – perhaps I might even join them soon, who can say no to beer in a plastic cup and the twang of toffee apples filling the air?)

New free wordage
Last week I got the proper great news that 365 Tomorrows featured one of my stories. It’s a little story, maybe a 60 second read. But it’s one I’ve been fond of for a while, and it’s always good to see lonely words go to a nice home. Read the story at 365 Tomorrows here, or put your feet up in The Dust Lounge and read it here.

Bar marriage. Bar divorce. Bar adopting a feral albino skunk. This was the eleventh move in as many years. A move where it turned out I didn’t move. It turned out I just packed everything into…
