Retired, with plenty of time on his hands and a healthy dose of grumpiness. The collection leans into sarcasm, cynicism, and a twisted take on the world. Inspired by the likes of Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, and Douglas Adams.

A Story or Two To Tell
|
Fiction, Mystery, Crime, Satire
A Story or Two to Tell is the presentation of two stories, with my fanciful resume. All read to the eager audience growing in numbers in the aged care complex I could call home. I don't live in an aged care home just yet and I'm not a psychopath. Even though the stories are aimed at a mature audience, they may sometimes seem immature. It's just the beginning, with more planned.

More Stories To Tell
|
Fiction, Mystery, Crime, Space, Satire
Follows on from A Story or Two to Tell and presents two of his more recent stories read to the ever-growing audience at the aged care home. Growing in numbers, of course, not individual size. "Goings on in Space" is a messy tale of love, sex, space, droids, and mean business types who control the known Universe. "A Couple that Kills" A young couple living their lives as professional killers for hire, all while living in a semi-rural hippie community selling prize organic beef.

Very Odd Short Stories
|
Fiction, Satire, Humor, Weird
Seventeen (17) stories best described as odd or just plain weird. The perfect distraction from life's complexity. They aren't real events but may have some basis in truth. Several curious people (really, it's just one) asked me how or where the ideas came from. Thankfully, there's no clear answer. When the trousers, mind, or weather conditions suit such things, it starts to flow.
