My début novel!
So, I finally finished the novel; much later than originally intended.
I'd had stirrings of the book in the early 2000's, and started it in 2005, scrapping it entirely and keeping on the title and the name of a building that features prominently in the story.
It is an urban story, gritty and real and full of characters we've all met or, sadly, have been. Set in 1996 in Australia, the story arc weaves in and out of the minds of the central players, building up a complex picture of the life of a group of 20-somethings, all punks and goths and skinheads.

I, Puppet
A short story I wrote in 2009 was published to the Softcopy blog yesterday.
Here is the link: www.softcopy.org.au/2017/01/i-puppet....
It is a precursor to the novel I am currently writing, in that it focuses on a young goth boy in Brisbane trying to cope with mental illness and self-identity.
