Welcome to Phantom Thoughts and Shadow Images, a newsletter in which I share some of my writing, research, writing inspiration, and things classified as Stuff I am Pondering or Simply Find Interesting™.

I write mostly fantasy fiction, although I do stray into science fiction now and then and even write a non-genre story on the odd occasion.

My interests that greatly influence my fiction and non-fiction writing can be broadly summed up as language and linguistics, mythology and folklore, literature, history and archaeology, mental health, and arts and crafts.

My short story collection, Where the Stars Used to Sing, can be read on my website, along with other fiction, non-fiction, and creative non-fiction.

I hope you’ll enjoy reading my stories and scribbles!
