Always a pleasure to visit Harbour Books. One of my favourite #indiebookshops and well worth a visit if you haven't been already! If you need an inducement beyond their brilliantly curated selection of books, you can pick up a FREE copy of ‘The Crossing’ – published by @uncertainstories.com .
My story, ‘The Crossing’ is out there as a ‘Little Uncertainty’ – one of 12 little books being given away by @uncertainstories.com just to spread the love of short stories! Get one by ordering a book from their website, or grab a free copy from one of the bookshops distributing them.
The latest Little Uncertainty is out this week. It’s a very fine short story and it’s completely free! Copies are on the way to bookshops across the UK right now so keep an eye out and grab yourself a copy if you see one…
This is a cool little article about Lucy Scott’s process of illustrating my story, ‘The Builder’. Lucy’s work is fantastic. She’s been illustrating the new anthologies and chapbooks from @uncertainstories.com . It's great to see her process . www.uncertainstories.com/inside-stori...

Amazing how a #BookPost can brighten an otherwise cold, dark and very wet day. Thank you, @uncertainstories.com 10 out of 10 for your packaging skills - and the freebies. Love the design of your Broken Ground anthology. I think I'll be reading it very s-l-o-w-l-y to make it last! #ShortStories
Happy halloween! Thrilled to have two stories out this October in these beautiful collections by brilliant publishers. Definitely recommend picking up copies if you're looking for something strange and scary to read this autumn, they're so so good and no I'm not biased at all
I read this over the weekend and I can't recommend it highly enough. It's an impeccable collection of beautifully tense short fiction with an uncanny edge. Loved it. Go to @uncertainstories.com and get your copy now.
