VSS365 Anthology
I joined a writing community on Twitter a couple of years ago called VSS365. Thousands of writers around the globe writing micro fiction or Very Short Stories with a single word writing prompt provided through the hashtag #vss365
In 2019, the hosts led by flash dog Mark A King, tasked a talented global writing community to produce their best work. We were provided with 37 challenging prompts with a strict 280 character limit. From thousands of entries, they selected just 365. I was lucky to have two stories chosen for inclusion.
What can be achieved with just 280 characters? On the pages of the anthology you will feel the fabric of love and depths of loss, you will explore mortality and ponder what it truly means to be alive, you will find poetry, prose, wonder, despair, humour and courage.
Most of all you will find exceptional thought-provoking authors who are pushing their form to the very limits and beyond. All royalties of this anthology go directly to a children's literacy charity.

Noir from the Bar
A Virtual Phenomenon
In March 2020, when lockdown kicked in, I had been looking forward to two brilliant events at Newcastle Noir Crime Writing Festival. A reading at Noir at the Bar and my very first panel with debut and independently published authors. Sadly, neither were able to take place, but the ever resourceful Vic Watson, teamed up with writer Simon Bewick to host Virtual Noir at the Bar, which has been running every Wednesday night since and has become a firm and much anticipated fixture in the lockdown calendar.
I took part in the first few weeks and had a great response to my reading from One for Sorrow. Vic and Simon then announced they had decided to pull together and anthology of short stories, all set in or featuring a bar, to publish and raise cash for the NHS Charities Fund.
I submitted a tale with no expectations of getting a slot. There have been many published and well established authors taking part over the last few months, but in the spirit of nothing ventured...I sent in a story I’d written that featured an unusual method of murder.
Who knew cheese could be a murder weapon? You can read The Limburger Killing in Noir from the Bar which will be published on 10th June 2020. Hope you enjoy it!
