I give you all the things. Wide-eyed optimism. Farm life. Lefty politics. Real-life misadventures. Fantasy maps. Alien worlds. Chickens. Science fiction and fantasy fiction. Chickens IN fiction. Even short stories without ANY chickens in them at all.
Self-unemployed chicken keeper, editor, writer, and shower curtain painter-designer. Incredible lack of focus. Ignored on Amazon (and most e-book retailers) since 2013. Head in the clouds, fingers in the dirt.
I write fiction and non-fiction about the magical Isle of Axholme and my search to discover the stories of the people and the land. I also write about my mental health journey and my attempts to escape 'real' work in search of the creative life.
A bit of humor and serious matter interwoven on topics of interest to me, and hopefully to you. Though I am currently working on a 3-part novella horror/sci-fi series, I am having fun on the Stack with short stories, essays and memoir-ish pieces.
Stories, articles and musings about creativity, technology and productivity.
