I am passionate about the written word and creating rich, engaging content.
I conducted galley proofreading for this fantastic analysis of the New Adventures, the series of books that gave Doctor Who fans something to do during the 1990s. This was a fun project and the on-page banter between authors Anthony Wilson and Robert Smith? is memorable and worth the price ofContinue Reading
So, as mentioned in a previous post, I entered the Australian Writer’s Center August Furious Fiction flash fiction competition. I didn’t place or get short-listed, again, but you can read my 500 words of pretty-good on The Feature Space.Continue Reading
Detective Patrick Gray entered the antiques store and took in the scratched and weather-worn interior. A number of New York’s finest were cataloguing evidence and speaking quietly amongst themselves.

I wrote my contribution based on Season 2, Episode 4 (Sleepless), where Mulder and a new partner (Alex Krycek) investigate the murders of two doctorsContinue Reading
