Here I'll be posting some free fiction occasionally; novellas, setups for novels, excerpts from works for sale, short stories, maybe even screenplays. Check back every now and then to see what I've been up to, although I'll be posting notifications of any updates in my monthly newsletter.

Last Worst Hope The world ended 23 years ago. The Hexa came, saw and conquered in less time than it takes to make beans on toast. The survivors were rounded up and put it work. Except us. We were left grovelling in the ruins, useless, broken and pathetic. The rejects. The ones with physical impairments, lifelong, incurable medical conditions, serious psychological damage. Now we’re the only ones left who can fight back. Yeah, us. We are the resistance. Humanity’s only chance. The impossible longshot. The last, worst hope. Novella, 12,000 words approx.
