News (May 2012)

My collection of short stories about London, Fragmented, was published last year 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 is widely available and will be on Kindle in the next few weeks.

My short story 'Cricket in London Fields' was in a recent The Frogmore Papers. Another story will be published by Frogmore Press in an anthology Languages of Colour (June 2012). A review of Fragmented is in the current edition of Dream Catcher and another review will be in the next issue of Flash Fiction. A short story will be in the next Flash Fiction too. My novel It's All Right, Ma is with my literary agent Christopher Sinclair-Stevenson. I am completing a crime novel and a collection of very short stories, World.

My poem 'Tilbury' is in London Rivers, a limited edition 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).
