This blog set sail as a series of posts about 42 records. One for each of my, at the time, 42 years. No chronology, no implied preference but each reflecting some aspect of my life. Those posts can be found under the “42 records: 42 years” page with links to each entry.

In the month of July 2023 I’m writing a series of short stories for Great Ormond Street Hospital’s fundraising efforts in the month – with an aim to write 26,000 words. Think of it as a writing marathon. Hopefully it doesn’t feel like a reading marathon. Fundraising page is here: Write Club fundraiser

The rest of the site consists of various flavours of my creative writing over the past few years. Primarily short stories and the occasional, misguided, foray into poetry.

Punctuation may be abused (particularly brackets…. and ellipses…).
