Playing the Taleban at Cricket

Another short extract from my PI novel 'Blain.' It's true by the way. Afghanistan did make it into the Twenty20 cricket World Cup

Shy Girl

A gentle 'wobbly legs and butterfly tummy' love story

Mr Moffo's Ladder

Another escapee from the @tipsylit Prompted challenge, this has proved to be strangely popular. Maybe everybody hates clowns

Charlie the Pub Brawler

Charlie gets cross. You really don't want that. Trust me, you don't.

Charlie and Me. The Saga Continues

Rick's not as hapless as he seems. He manages to keep the extraordinarily beautiful but very irascible Charlie under control. And still finds the time to help out his friends.

A Dangerous Liaison

Two wrong people, in the wrong place, at the wrong time. This is the story from the man's point of view. But in the second chapter, the woman gives her version of events.

Getting to know Lou. Part 2

The sequel to Part 1, we find out how Lou got from a plantation mansion in Louisiana to being PI in Norwich.

Coming Home for Christmas

Not quite the Christmas he expected. Nor one that she would have predicted either.

Another outtake from 'Charlie and Me'

Meet DS Benton

Another chance to meet Blain, and his friend and mentor DS Benton.

Heartbreaker

Revenge and sadness, with my customary twist at the end

Rick and Charlie go shopping

Pretty much what it says on the tin

The Lee Roy Chronicles

Everybody's favourite redneck NASCAR driver Lee Roy Fuckwit. His adventures with his buddy, Fagboy. And his affair with Miss B.

Charlie and Me. Chapter 1

The first chapter of my novel Charlie and Me. If you like this, the saga continues elsewhere. Charlie is a wonderful creation. As they say, 'All women want to be her. All men want to be in the next county to her.' Rick manages though.

Fairytale Ending

A fairytale yes. With an ending, yes. Happy ever after? Perhaps.

Troll Hunting

Some people will find this very offensive. I know i do.

aka Stregoni Benefici

What we have here is an outtake from my nascent detective novel about Blain, who happens to be one of the good guys. Finding himself being tailed around his patch (Norwich as it happens) he has lured the inept tail into the toilets of a pub, and threatened him sufficiently (but non-violently) to reveal the name of the person who organised the tail.Thisis dedicated to Whiplash Mac Nicol, who keeps nagging me about Blain.

How not to get laid

A piece of nonsense I wrote for the TipsyLit prompt this week about lifetimes that were shorter or longer than normal. An idea I'd had for a while, and got goaded into writing

Scorched Earth

The Grain Silo

Dorothy. Not a killer's name, is it? Not threatening at all.

Wax on. Wax off.

Getting to know Lou. Part 1

Poor little rich girl? Not quite. She's a real fighter for the good guys.

Goodnight Irene

Love, sex, and death. The three great themes for writing, all in one short story.

Charlie Gets a Hangover

Charlie gets her party hat on. With a vengeance.

First Date

It's a hot first date. Where do you go? Out to dinner? What do you eat? Does the evening end up in bed?
