LATEST NEWS

January 7, 2026 – I just posted a blog about My writing plans for 2026 which, well, I’m sure you can figure it out.

October 6, 2023 – I finally managed to publish The Uncapped Pen!

May 24, 2023 – I’ve been trying to post more microfiction stories. Unfortunately, they didn’t fit in my system for linking to stories, so I just started a new page for them.




I’ve pretty much reduced my social media to Mastodon and Bluesky.

In 2017, I posted a blog asking How did you find me? I’m curious to know how people discovered my work. If you would be so kind as to go and leave a comment, it would be most appreciated.




Monthly Spotlight

The spotlight is on:

The Moon Before Mars

Over the last few years a lot of people have caught Mars fever. People talk of colonizing Mars, but in my opinion, a simple Mars base is currently not sustainable because there’s no way for it to make money. While bases on the moon and amongst the asteroids won’t be as “inspirational” as one on Mars, they will have opportunities for businesses to make goods and services as well as profits, meaning less chance of them being outright cancelled. This will make life better on Earth and secure a firm foothold in space for humanity. The essays in The Moon Before Mars: Why returning to the moon makes more sense than rushing off to Mars allow me to describe my ideas on what can be accomplished on the moon and with the asteroids, and why Mars isn’t the destiny of humanity its cheerleaders make it out to be.
