As a self published writer I implore you to embrace your oddness, your idiosyncrasies, your passions. The mainstream has bland homogeny covered. Write something different - distinctively you - and discover your true audience. #writing

"Madame Fortuna", a short story from 10 years ago (but edited today!😀), is now free on my website. If you like Lovecraft, give it a read, shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. :)

Thank you. I’m writing a cyberpunk series called Chrome Roses exploring themes like ‘What if you could never turn off social media because it’s wired into your flesh from birth’. I’ll be at Thought Bubble & Glasgow Epic Con. I also draw. t.co/ZSIY5YQb61
