Lost Treasures of the Black Heart/HORROR/Science

I read a piece of mine at Lost Treasures of the Black Heart on May 5th- it was great fun, and I'll be back again in July. For a night that is mainly comedy, everyone seemed happy enough with some depressing short fiction!

Also, got confirmation that I will be appearing in a Horror anthology in October. Further details to follow- its a really cool platform and I'm super excited. 

What else is going on? I passed my PhD viva, so I'm now Dr Green. Which is pretty cool, and means I might have a little bit more time for getting some writing done...

Broken Worlds paperback edition

Broken Worlds by Almond Press is a collection of dystopian stories, including my contribution Silva's Plague.

It's been available for a few months on Kindle now, but the paperback is now available to order! I have a proof copy, its a lovely production and a great collection of stories.

For more info check out Almond Press.

Hot sounds

It's hot in London, it feels like summer already. I've been busy with a new job, but hopefully will be getting along to some live lit events over the summer. 

I'll be reading a story next month at Lost Treasures of the Black Heart in Camden, May 5th- check it out, only £5 for a lot of comedians (and me reading something that will not be funny).
