Really honoured to feature in Moonflake Press' treasured anthology with a wee poem I'm quite chuffed with. Lots of heartfelt, sparkly stuff within.

We loved how immersive, tense and visceral this flash was, with raw snappy sentences driving the emotion. A fab use of prompts.

We loved the angst in this young MC, the real-world challenges of his "gift". It's gritty and sassy and we loved the way the nemesis was transformed in the story.

Strasbourg 5 am. A heron’s heavy row across a blue July sky, over green gravel lakes beside the motorway. We’re sixteen. Hungover French drizzles from our English tongues as we waste away with the was...
Long drives have inspired me to create over the years. With Silver Canyon Review, my literary journal, I hope to see the stories from the missed turns and the backroads. Submissions are open now.
