From a Cobwebbed Drawer
“They’ve found Niall.”
“Thank God. I thought you were going to tell me something awful.”
She paused, her breath hollow down the phone. “Like what?”
“I don’t know.” I faltered. “Like, he’s fallen. Broken something.”
“I don’t know what he broke. But he’s dead.”
I’m proud to have a story, From a Cobwebbed Drawer, in the new collection Day of the Dead. It’s set in the present day and features two writers, friends and rivals, and their efforts to break into the mainstream of the writing world.
Inspired by our annual Day of the Dead show, the book is edited by Matt Wingett, Life is Amazing (Oct 2016) and features more than twenty established and emerging writers.
While I’m at it, let me mention the recent publications of:
Lawless story Lawless and the Dance of Death, Portsmouth News online & print
Two Heads in Dark City, edited by Karl Bell and Stephen Pryde-Jarman (Nov 2016)
interview with twisted gin-addled cabaret MC Joe Black in Southsea Lifestyle
