Mortica's Monday
This is the only thing that I've written for some time and presents somewhat of a 'departure' from anything that I've done in the past. It was written to a fairly open-ended brief however was to remain within the parameters of a story based on an art student named Morticia...'nuff said?
see what you think...

Some poems
O.K. so I'm a bit embarrassed by some of these but in the same way as I've done with my recent slideshow posting, I thought that I'd just bring some of my poems up to date. The really embarrassing bit is that I've also attached recordings to each piece and you'll see (if you care to look of course) that as each page loads, a version of the logo shown here appears somewhere close to the title. If you want to listen then you'll firstly need to have a QuickTime Player (it's a free download) installed on your computer. Although anyone who knows me personally would undoubtedly dispute this, I hate to hear my own voice however, I've now had 4 people (that's 90% of my fan base) request the inclusion of these recordings so that the regional dialect which I often use in my writing can be better understood.
In alphabetical order
Classified is just a silly performance poemComparatively Speaking is just a silly poemFeelings Present is...?For Jo is about the 'sacking' of a work colleagueThe Blob is (I suppose) my performance 'show piece'The Fence is a poem about 'subliminal _isms..'
Obviously I hope that you like some of them otherwise I wouldn't be posting them! - s'ppose

How much I now know
This is the first writing that I ever had published and I wrote it on the topic of a driving accident in which I was involved. It is of course one of life's ironies that good can be drawn from even the most tragic of events if we so choose. Following this story's publication, I was asked on two occasions to make live radio recitals and the feedback was incredible.click here if you wish to read it
