Hey all - I think my story in the Missouri Review can be accessed for free! It's about a guy going on an elephant hunt... 🐘🙂 https://t.co/Ng84BfoPcP

I've just entered the Welkin Prize. Familial circumstances meant I missed this opportunity last year. Once bitten, twice shy - this year I'm in early with an attempt. You should enter too! Thanks to Matt Kendrick for organising!

Taking a break from short poetry films to try something a little different. ‘The Time Pirate Who Waits Ashore’ is a brand new flash fiction series starting Fall 2025. First episode drops October 15th! But in the meantime, a little teaser… https://t.co/OpmZyOrvq1
