Tidal Bones (2100 words). Magazine: Carmina Magazine.
I am delighted by this fresh, gorgeous new home for this previously unpublished piece.
Read for FREE here: http://carminamagazine.com/tidal-bones.html in this super supportive http://carminamagazine.com/index.html: magazine
Tidal Bones is a darker piece - my attempt at horror/dark fiction/Australian gothic fiction. A vulnerable woman stands in the ruins of a stolen wedding dress, with cliffs all about her. Something dark watches her from the haunted bay.
Tidal Bones was inspired by the happiest days of my childhood, looking for treasures along deserted beaches.

This is another light (hopefully) funny piece that mixes the bizarre and fantastic with the mundane and every day.
Heaven-Sent was inspired by a day at the office, and a particular email habit that I find a tad challenging. Read my blog for more info :-)

Team Meet (4000 words). Magazine: Teleport Magazine. This is the second piece I have managed to have published in this magazine :-)
Read FOR FREE here: https://www.teleportmagazine.com/2022/03/22/team-meet/
And here: https://www.teleportmagazine.com/
I created this story from the angle of: could I write a reasonably tasteful story that begins with a man in a bathroom? Can I? Yes. Yes I can!
I dabble with the idea of writing a novel-length piece about these characters :-)
