The Book Had to Go Back
and Other Stories

Some stories turn on a comic misunderstanding. Others stay close to a character’s thoughts. And sometimes a familiar house has become a place you would rather leave.

Forthcoming.

A book to pick up and dip into.

I’m preparing The Book Had to Go Back and Other Stories, a printed collection of short stories. The final contents, format, price and publication date will be announced when they are confirmed.

Try the humour of Before the Doors Open, or the quieter unease of The Other Side of the Landing.
