Winter Tales – Sniffle

[image error]

Hello! Throughout December there will be a series of stories based on these words. Happy reading!

When Matthias sneezes, Max’s head comes up from the book he’s reading comically slow.

“You’re not sick, are you?” he asks, reaching out to squeeze his leg where they’re both sprawled out on opposite ends of the couch indulging in a quiet afternoon.

Winter Tales – Stove

[image error]

Hello! Throughout December there will be a series of stories based on these words. Happy reading!

These stories are all going to be about the same couple: thanks to the beautiful people at Character Generator, here is what we know about them:

Matthias Platt is a 30-year-old plumber who enjoys playing rugby and listening to music. He is affectionate and generous, but can also be very quiet and a bit self-conscious. He has a severe phobia of clowns. Physically, Matthias is in pretty good shap...

Matthew isn’t looking for a relationship. Ask him, and he’ll say it’s because between work and studying there’s just no time. Ask his best friend, Sarah, and the story is a little different and involves a failed relationship that left him raw. 

Enter Joel, a childhood friend of Sarah’s recently back in the area. He’s not looking for love, either, but he’s not averse to the idea of a little fun. Uncomplicated and on the same page: what could possibly go wrong?

Whatever Comes First. New book o...

By Candlelight

An evening in a cabin in the middle of nowhere is the perfect place for this loved up couple to be making some lasting memories.

Goaded

For those of you who follow/have followed me elsewhere, you might recognise this story in another guise. And this is just as ridiculous and silly here as it was there

NaNoWriMo…

After procrastinating about doing this thing for the past five years I’m finally doing it. Got a rough outline, a conditionally formatted spreadsheet to keep a track of my word count, and so far, three days in, it’s going well! I have no idea how this thing is going to turn out or even if this outline is going to end up completely ignored, but so far so good

Extract

Elliot remembered with painful clarity the events that had led up to the exact moment he thought his life might be effectively over.

One early evening the week after his fourteenth birthday during a sweltering summer, Elliot was stood on his aunt Ellie’s porch in the still blazing sun, sipping on homemade lemonade, when he first felt an unfamiliar ache in his lower back. He and his cousin Sebastian had been busy playing with the family’s new puppy, chasing it back and forth across the lawn, a...
