Settling into 2022

Posted on March 31, 2022

It’s been a busy start to 2022 and quite a varied one. Even though people were hesitant to venture out and many of us were still working from home, cricket season was still in full swing. I had a great chat with Donna and Nigel at That’s a Wrap over at 2NVR Nambucca Radio.

I spoke with Sam Hargreaves at The Sporting Capitol and we discussed how the ladies came to play, and what happened after the game. Sam had connections to Bendigo as his parents do walking tours in the region. One of the things I mentioned in this interview was how one male reader had said he’d read almost every newspaper article in my book, but had never realised how these games must have been from the women’s perspective. I’ve had three publications so far this year. It’s not often that this occurs, but all three are free to read online.

  1. My short story ‘Nothing to Contest’ appeared in Pendulum Papers and is available to read free online. This story is about divorce, with a surprise outcome during proceedings.
  2. Stuart Conover and Stephanie Ellis from The Horror Tree talked with me about what they do, and how they help the writing community in ‘Talking to the Horror Tree as it Turns Ten‘. It was fascinating to hear about the journey over ten years, and great to talk to passionate people about a great cause. Thanks to Horror Oasis for hosting.
  3. My survivalist horror short about a mother and child  ‘End of the Line‘ is featured online in the Dark Recesses Press webzine.

As always, busy, busy!
