A date for your diary. I’m hosting a party to celebrate the recent launch of the Mosaic anthology on Thursday 14 October.

I’ll be reading from ‘In The Tattoo Parlour’, my story about an hypnotic tattoo artist, and from my novel Exit Strategies. I’ll also be signing books and trying to answer any questions you might have.

The launch party is in Shoreham-by-Sea, at Twenty-Seven on Brunswick Road. (Click here for a map.) We’ll be starting at 7pm with the first reading scheduled for 7.30pm.

Rest assured, there will be wine and nibbles. All are welcome and entry is free, though space is limited, so please contact me directly to reserve a place. Or visit the Facebook event page and RSVP there.

See you on the 14th!

Make space on your bookshelf! My story ‘In The Tattoo Parlour’ is published today in a new anthology from Bridge House Publishing.

Mosaic features 25 new short stories from an international selection of writers. The pieces cover a wide array of themes and styles, and I’m very proud to have my story included among them.

You can read the first section of ‘In The Tattoo Parlour’ here. A tattoo shop opens overnight on the high street of an unassuming, middle-class town, and quickly establishes a roaring trade. As an ever more unlikely stream of local people succumbs to the needle only one man seems to think this odd.

Mosiac can be ordered now from Amazon (and other online stores) or direct from Bridge House Publishing. If you have any trouble getting a copy just let me know.
