P.A.C.D. The Kitchen Of Tomorrow, Today!
My erotic horror story, P.A.C.D. THE KITCHEN OF TOMORROW, TODAY!, will be published in the Sinister Sheets anthology. A neglectful husband buys his wife a futuristic Personal Automated Culinary Droid (P.A.C.D.), but it’s a recipe for disaster.
The exciting thing about Sinister Sheets is the black pages!
Sex and horror are often considered separate. Notable exceptions include the “sex means death” rule of slasher films; Stephen King’s GERALD’S GAME; and the danger of sex throughout Gillian Flynn’s dark novels. In this collection, erotic horror is best defined as literature that arouses the reader…and then makes them complicit in the horror that ensues because of that arousal. These stories will make you howl.
Available from Amazon AU/Amazon US.

The Djinn
My -word story, THE DJINN has been published in Clarendon House Publication’s micro-fiction anthology, BLAZE: The Inner Circle Writer’s Group Flash Fiction Anthology. What’s fun about this anthology is that stories are separated into three categories; Less than 1000 words, less than 500 words and less then 50 words. Drabbles are all the range now so I thought I’d give a 50-word story a try. It was more challenging than you’d think.
“Writers are spellbinders, wizards, witches, working their magic with words, entrancing and enchanting us. Not for nothing does the word ‘spell’ mean a sequence of letters and a form of words used as a magical charm or incantation. In these tales, the sorcery has been restricted so that its glamour has to work in the space of fifty, five hundred or a thousand words: and work it does, as you will see. From disturbing darkness to light-hearted laughter, the authors within weave their wizardry, making you weep and laugh, feel and think, shiver and gasp, always wanting to turn the page.”
