Read six of my new short stories FREE at The Write Launch!

I've been working on a new short story collection this year. Each month, a new story from the collection has been featured at The Write Launch.

The Write Launch is a new literary fiction magazine that was launched in May 2017. It features lots of great short stories, poetry, articles, and novella/novel excerpts, from up-and-coming writers. If you haven't discovered it yet, follow this link to read the November issue: https://thewritelaunch.com/

This month's issue features my latest short story, "The Games People Play"

Here are a couple of brief excerpts from the story:

"At forty-five, and feeling slightly old, it boosted his ego to know that this young girl wanted to date him. She’d already said that she loved him: so innocent; yet to discover that love was an elusive fallacy, a playground for fools—a path leading only to disappointment or infinite loneliness, and that’s if you’re one of the lucky ones."

"He tried to focus on other things but his thoughts wandered to Olivia—they invariably did when anything in his life went wrong, as if an eternal circular pathway perpetually led back to her. Did she marry the man, the man with the face that frequently appeared in wishy-washy black and white flashbacks in Lucas’s mind? Were they still living together, happily, while his own life fell to pieces?"

My plan is to publish all the stories next year as a collection, titled "Out Of Time".

There are two more stories to come - one of which I am currently editing.

If you're a writer, you can also submit stories, poems, novel/novella excerpts, and articles. The site is very popular, so make sure you submit early in the month as the deadline each month is the 15th, due to the large amount of submissions that are received. The team at The Write Launch are very supportive of new writers and there are lots of great features to read there.
