Spreading the news ... Or your work

For many writers the highlight is seeing their work published - whether it be from a mainstream publisher, through to small magazines, newspapers and of course self-publishing! In the course of my twenty eight-ish year career I have been published in newspapers and magazines (as well as anthologies - but that is a different story.) Between 2006-2009 I was at University undertaking a combined honors degree in English and Creative Writing. Since leaving University, most of my creative work has been published in Reflections Magazine, an Exeter based magazine, edited by the fantastic Mr S M Smith. It comes out quarterly and I have been fortunate to have been a part of it since issue four.

Issue four of Reflections magazine features my story The Journal of Dr James Montague - You can read it here:  http://exeterreflections.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/reflections-issue-4.html

Issue five of Reflections magazine features my story First Born - You can read it here: http://exeterreflections.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/reflections-issue-5.html

Issue Six of Reflections magazine features my story The Calling of Simon Heylt - You can read it here: http://exeterreflections.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/reflections-issue-6.html

Issue Seven of Reflections magazine features my story Gull Cove - You can read it here: http://exeterreflections.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/reflections-issue-7.html

Issue Eight of Reflections magazine features my story God and the Damned - You can read it here: http://exeterreflections.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/reflections-issue-8.html

Issue Nine of Reflections magazine features my informal biography of ghost story author M R James: M R James A Ghostly Portrait - You can read it here: http://exeterreflections.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/reflections-issue-9.html

From Issue ten through to issue thirteen, Reflections Magazine serialised my dissertation Morvella House. This piece was revised and extended especially for publication. It can be read here:

Thursday 3 January 2013




















These twenty scans represent part of the promotional work for my music 'The Gods of Goth' - name taken from an article about The Sisters of Mercy circa 1987 Melody Maker cover. My music was promoted to over 8 1/2 million people through an extensive media campaign from 1989 to 1992. This was just covering radio and newspapers only! Just think what I could have done if this was to happen in this day and age and I was twenty years younger lol

Wednesday 2 January 2013

A rather podgy looking me circa 2006/7. The music was a speck in the ocean as Uni took control. But the tunes are always there ... The Gods of Goth ...
