Click on the image above to take you to all my FICTION posts; enjoy.
Enjoy my work. Then buy me a coffee?
For those who would like to slowly trawl through my many fiction stories, simply click on the link above and trawl away. For those who would like to go through them based on their titles, and without the visual prompt, there is a chronological list below. It was/is a pain in the arse to compile and maintain but I do so because I’m proud of my stories and because you can see the progression of my writing style over the many years I have been writing fiction. Also, because I know that there will be at least one person out there who likes lists. Enjoy.
