Stuff
I didn't know what else to do with the stories on this page, so I put them here. They were written for various reasons (even, on occasion, 'fun') over the last few years. I hope you find something to enjoy. A word about copyright: I'm not sure I'm actually allowed to republish half of this stuff, so you're definitely not. Sorry.
At the bottom of the page there's also some crap poetry. Like a lot of novelists, I think, I have poetic aspirations. They are misplaced. See for yourself. I have taken to recording them because I like the sound of my own voice. I have also started recording some of the short stories. The recordings appear at the bottom of the stories with MP3 next to their titles. You can download them to your iPod if you like. I'm very modern like that.
