News (January 2012)

My collection of short stories about London, Fragmented, was published in May by Cinnamon Press (it was partly funded by an Arts Council grant). Fragmented charts a personal journey from 1970s squatter to life in Hackney now. Fragmented may be ordered from the W H Smith website, the Waterstones website, the Guardian Books website, the Gwales website (the online bookshop of the Welsh Books Council), Amazon, and many others. It is widely available in bookshops throughout Britain.

My story 'Cricket in London Fields' is in the current issue of The Frogmore Papers; 'Myfanwy, China, Harry, and a Goldfish' was in a recent Ambit.  Another story will be published later this year in a Frogmore Press anthology Languages of Colour. My novel It's All Right, Ma is with my literary agent Christopher Sinclair-Stevenson. I am completing a detective novel.

My poem 'Tilbury' is in London Rivers, an illustrated anthology from Paekakariki Press (it is their first publication). The poems are handset in 12pt Garamond and printed (both text and illustration) on the Heidelberg KS cylinder printing press (1959).
