Launching a new short stories collection. Right here!

Over the last six or seven years I have been slowly amassing a small collection of short stories, most of which have never seen the light of day. I have decided that the time has come to finally bite the bullet, and share them with you. Needless to say, I’m a little nervous. Some of them I wrote during and after working on The Dynamite Room and Devastation Road. This gave me the opportunity to expand on some of the characters and locations from these novels and further flesh out the worlds of these novels that I am still very attached to. Others have been inspired by fresh projects I have been working on or have grown from little ideas that have come out of the blue. Whilst, more recently, I have also been venturing into new writing territory and so some of the later stories I share here may give you some clues as to where I’m heading next.

I do hope you like them.
