Almost three years ago now, I self-published for the first time with Something Nice, a collection of ten of my best short stories written in my 20s. And it sold a few copies and had lovely reviews and gave me the confidence to take my writing to a more professional footing.
I'd started writing more short stories within days of the book going live. The first effort made it into A Splendid Salmagundi, of course, and then a couple were sold into professional anthologies.
Available exclusively on Kindle, Something Nicer is a story of my development as a writer. There are tales of horror, fantasy and very strange romance. There are drabbles and flash fiction pieces and one 8,500 word story that looked hell bent on becoming a novella at one stage. You will NEVER again look at a stepladder in the same way.
Something Nicer is full of stories that are sometimes horrible, often faintly disturbing, usually funny, but never ever boring.
