Stories that have appeared so far


I'm listing my stories that have appeared so far so anyone interested in joining me to form a writing group can see what I’ve been doing. I’ve only listed stories, not poetry or plays, which is why there appear to be long gaps.

In 2011 ‘Homecoming’ won joint second place in the Willesden Herald short story competition and ‘Rich Bitch’ was runner-up in the Oxford Editors competition.
‘My Stopwatch’ appeared in New Scientist in 2007, and ‘Trouble’ in Stand in 1997.
In 1996 ‘The Visitor’ was broadcast on Radio 4, ‘Snaps’ appeared in Paris Transcontinental, ‘We Practice French with M. Tigny’ in Metropolitan, and ‘Whole’ in Staple.                                   
‘The Fan’ appeared in the Bridport Prize Anthology in 1995.
‘The Smell of Happiness’ was broadcast on Radio 4 in 1994.                       
In 1994 ‘Doing It’ appeared in The Affectionate Punch and ‘Romey and Jullit’ in Stand.
Way back in 1983 ‘And Gnashing of Teeth’ appeared in Iron magazine. Around then another story whose title I forget won a small Bridport Prize (the judge was John Fowles). And in 1981 ‘The Mouse’ won first prize in the Radio Piccadilly children’s short story competition in Manchester.
