Hot Flashes!
I’m delighted to say that the second of my two Hot Flash stories due out over the summer with JMS Books will be released on August 21st.
This short story is called Stage Struck and is set in one of my favourite eras, the vibrant, roistering and often dangerous world of the Elizabethan Theatre in London in the 1590s.
As a humble scribe living out a humdrum existence in the City of London in Elizabethan times, Stephen finds his escape across the river amongst the crowds of the teeming theatres where he is transported by the spectacle.
But poetry isn’t everything. When a young Welsh actor called Ioan catches his eye, he’s tempted to overcome his shyness and make his acquaintance. Is Stephen out of his depth in this colourful world with its undertones of danger? Or might there be a slim chance that Ioan can return his feelings?
A big thank you again to the lovely Ofelia Grand for having me as her guest to chat about my inspiration for Stage Struck on her Friday At Ofelia’s blog.

Pre-release Available!
It’s so exciting to see The Spice of Life, my story for the JMS Books Valentine’s Sugar or Spice submissions call, live on the JMS Books site with a 20% off pre-release offer.
My story will be released on February 5th, and available on all outlets from that date, with the 20% new release offer on the JMS Books site available until February 12th.
For this one, I’ve gone back to Elizabethan London of the 1570s for a love story between a young serving man and an apprentice to a spice merchant, suddenly thrown together by an alarmingly unexpected event.
In Elizabethan England, Gregory Fletcher’s quiet life as a serving lad for his London relatives is punctuated by trips to the spice merchant’s shop, where he finds the handsome apprentice, Jehan, more intriguing than the exotic goods on display.
When Gregory discovers Jehan is in peril, his instinct is to come to his aid whatever the cost. But will this mean danger for Gregory too?

New release!
My new story, The Spice of Life for JMS Books’ Sugar of Spice Valentine’s submissions call is now on release!
In Elizabethan England, Gregory Fletcher’s quiet life as a serving lad for his London relatives is punctuated by trips to the spice merchant’s shop, where he finds the handsome apprentice, Jehan, more intriguing than the exotic goods on display.
When Gregory discovers Jehan is in peril, his instinct is to come to his aid whatever the cost. But will this mean danger for Gregory too?
At twenty years of age, Gregory Fletcher is content with his life, biding his time as a serving lad for kindly, wealthy relatives in Elizabethan London. Sometimes, he wishes for a spark of excitement in his staid existence. The occasional glimpse of Jehan Zanini, the handsome apprentice of a local merchant, adds spice to his dreams.
Out of the blue, Jehan is accused of stealing from an aristocratic customer. Gregory fears he may never see him again and is concerned for Jehan’s liberty and even his life. When Gregory gets the chance to help Jehan escape his fate, he grasps the opportunity without hesitation. Can Gregory engineer Jehan’s flight from London and the authorities? Might he even clear Jehan’s name? And will their adventure draw them closer or fling them apart forever?
20% off at JMS Books’ new release sale until February 12th.
