Chuffed to have hyperlocal heroes
Star and Crescent publish my tale
Orpheus and the Spice Island Nymph, first published in
Portsmouth Fairy Tales collection.
‘“Finding things as is missing something of a speciality,” said Worm, “with a sideline in unfinding things as may be better off lost.”’
This mangled malodorous myth features my
Titan Books detective #Lawless and his urchin collaborator Worm.

I performed it at
The Subaquatic Steampunk Weekend a few weeks back at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, kindly supported by the good burghers of the
Gosport Steampunk Society.
It’s a skew-whiffy take on the tale of the great musician who descends to rescue his dead wife from the Underworld, and is a companion piece to my second novel
Lawless and the Flowers of Sin (more in
That’s Solent interview).
