Three New Sci-Fi Stories!

I'm delighted to announce that I've written three new sci-fi stories this year and they are now available as a Kindle eBook on Amazon.

Victor Echo Mike (link) are three short stories that look at human existence on Venus, Earth and Mars in the future:


In The Water Course we visit Venus and join Maude and her team as they truck water, seeing how precarious life can be on a terraformed planet, especially with no natural water source.


Into the Dust is based on Mars with a team of scientists, headed up by May, trying to keep their project on track to re-terraform Earth with scant resources.


In Seacant One we return to Earth where Dena is in charge of dismantling Seacant One, dangerous work involving booby-trapped robots and difficult working conditions.

I’m happy to announce that an updated version of  ‘A Bright Balance of Feathers’ is now available as either an eBook or paperback on Amazon here; or as a personalised paperback in my Etsy shop here.



Featuring over 250 of my birdwatching haiku I’ve added in some more illustrations as well as new haiku. This is one of my favourite ongoing creative projects and perfect for birdwatchers and poetry readers.

Long ago; I held
A trembling crumb out for you
You kindly ate it
