Hi William,
I've only just seen this question, and thank you so much for checking out and enjoying Below.
I would probably recommend Paths Best Left Untrodden, as it's short fiction, and as such gives you a bit of a taster of the different types of story I write. Some horror, some more adventure oriented, like Below and other stuff that fits into the dark folklore that I enjoy writing.
Whatever you go for, do let me know how you get on.(less)

I've written some real garbage in this time, but I've also written some stuff I'm proud of. And that's the whole point. (less)

2017 - The Year of Writing

This year, 2017, I made a decision that I would start to take my writing seriously and a friend and colleague of mine, Michael David Wilson of This is Horror and Lit Reactor, gave me a challenge to help me along with that. https://litreactor.com/columns/2017-w...

So I took the challenge and it's been great. Frenetic, but great. As you can see, I've had one short story published in the 9 Tales antho Read more of this blog post »
