Writing in Publications

I am a writer of creative fiction: stories, short & longer. Also non-fiction, poems, a travel journal, planned novel. More recently flash fiction, which is fun.

Inspiration comes from many places: walks in wild landscapes like the Highlands of Scotland; myth, memory, music, images - mine & others'.

I'm most interested in themes around transformation & renewal: people, treasure - the rescued, the lost.

Here are some of my published short stories, to be found in anthologies/ magazines (most recent 1st):
