Anthologies
The Red HeartIn September 2016, I decided to draw together a set of short stories I'd written over a long period of time, all with an Australian flavour, and publish them in a single anthology. Two were previously published in recent anthologies, but the others are new or were never submitted elsewhere. The stories range through contemporary murder, space and supernatural horror, speculative scifi and Australian yarn. The anthology is available in ebook format via Amazon Kindle and hard copy at Amazon.

Tales of the DragonIn 2006, Altair Australia published a collection of my fantasy stories as a POD anthology titled Tales of the Dragon.
At the end of April 2015, I re-published an edited version of Tales of the Dragon, an anthology of fantasy stories I wrote between 1993-2000, as an epub with Amazon Kindle. The anthology is currently available on Amazon in ePub and paperback versions. |
Individual Stories
Robert N Stephenson published a story anthology, The World of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror: Book 1, in January 2016, an eclectic collection of stories with no intended theme, and my story, at the time of submission titled 'Beach Cricket', was included. The anthology is available for free ebook download at Smashwords, or for a nominal price at Amazon.

In January 2015, Robert Stephenson collected, edited and published a collection of ten stories in an e-book anthology, From Out of the Dark. The stories had to reflect horror within a space environment. My story, 'Hope', based on an exploration for a new Earth, was accepted. The anthology is currently available for free download online at Smashwords and a paperback edition can be bought on Amazon.

Paul Collins invited me to submit a story to a Penguin fantasy anthology, Dream Weavers, that he edited and published in 1996. Short story writing was a new genre for me, and my submission was entitled 'The Innkeeper'.
