Other than that, you can still get my debut small story collection, The Bygones, from Tangerine Press and the single story, A Symbol of a Memory, from Nightjar Press. Two amazingly unique publishers in their different ways.

I've had stories in the latest 2 issues of Spinners, published just before Christmas. This mag has filled a space in the lit world left by mags such as Joe England's PUSH and has been a relentless and wonderful surprise this year.

As well as being a night for stories and discussion, this event will be Neil Campbell's first outing with his latest collection, Saying Dirty Things in Regional Accents, which I can't wait to read. It was a pleasure to be asked back to Blackwells in Manchester for this event.

'A Symbol of a Memory' is a single small story published by Nightjar Press. It focuses on a real event of a local man setting fire to himself in the highstreet & was inspired by hearing people recount their memory of witnessing it & the poetry in the tragic moment

Here's part of a collection of photos taken on a snowy day out the window of a car on a drive between Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Shirebrook on a point-and-shoot camera.
Two of the photos were used to bookend my small story collection, The Bygones.
