Hence this website. I tend to start a nice story for a competition, or somesuch, then half-way through, the deadline appears. So, here are the stories, one by one (if they are short, most of them are) or chapter by chapter. And I get to set no deadlines at all. And one more thing - I've only put some teaser stories on here for some of the stories that are in my new book, see below!

What happened at my new job
I found these ramblings in one of my GrandFather’s notebooks. In the middle, with blank pages on either side. He seemed to write his daily diary from the start of the book, then add notes and observations at the end. He had a lot of notebooks, and I was burning them all, too many family secrets really. Shame, but history can do without this guy’s ramblings. But I flipped through them anyway, and this entry caught my eye, because of the blank pages on either side.
