Welcome to my website!
I am a writer, writing tutor and writing events organiser enamoured of the flash fiction form. After retiring from my career as a Gestalt Psychotherapist and trainer, in 2012 I completed an MA in Creative Writing at Bath Spa University. In recent years I’ve been successful in many writing competitions and my flash fiction has been published in a wide range of literary magazines and anthologies. I have facilitated many face-to-face and online creative writing workshops focussing on all aspects of flash fiction.
My full flash fiction collection Clearly Defined Clouds, containing many of my stories previously published in magazines and anthologies, was published in July 2024 and is available from adhocfiction.com and Amazon in paperback. 
My debut chapbook of short-short fictions, The Chemist’s House based on growing up in mid Wales was published by V Press in 2017 and is available to buy on this site.
I founded Bath Flash Fiction Award, an international writing award which has been running three times a year since 2015 and direct Flash Fiction Festivals UK, a yearly in-person weekend event devoted to flash fiction which attracts writers from all over the world. I also run a trio of online flash fiction days in the autumn and winter. In 2017, I also founded and direct Ad Hoc Fiction, the small indie press which publishes flashfiction collections, anthologies and guidebooks. See the range (over 80 books published) at bookshop.adhocfiction.com
