Pirate Stories

The semi-heroic adventures of Captain Ignatius Pigheart, master of the fine ship, the Grim Bastard and lattery The Good Ship Lollipop. Tales of maritime romance, monsters and incompetence at sea.

Longer Fiction

I'm a fan of Nanowrimo, with three wins under my scribbling belt - you can read them all here... Plus a bunch of longer series and assorted science fiction and fantasy bits and pieces. Enjoy!
