More to come on Kindle

My short stories are doing well and I've been making progress. April will see my first on Kindle called One Small Step for Dahlia Rex. Ebooks are the way to go.

Red Dwarf - a sci-fi classic.

Red Dwarf screened it's last show. The cast are older, and I got seriously worried in the middle when they came back to earth, but there was no need to worry - it's wasn't real. Phew!

Moon colony

Busy deciding just what life is like on my moon colony. My tag line for the anthology is: You can’t pick your neighbours on earth, but on the moon – you can’t even move away.

Science brain

Time to get the science brain in gear to see if writing proposals is my thing. It looks good though - so many interesting projects and seeing the impact they could have.

Writing for Radio

I've always listened to the radio and will listen to drama above music. Even now Radio 4Extra is on. It's a wonderful resource for a writer, but, as independent producer/director Cherry Cookson said, not that easy to get work taken on. So tell me something I don't know.

Short story - but it isn't when you have to write it.

Slogging away at my series of short stories, Surrey-on-the-Moon. I've really enjoyed the characters and how they interact, who lives who dies, who has secrets, who is not what they seem. Now it's time to put the ingredients in and start stirring.
