Those nice people over at the Literary Mania page voted my page 'Book of the Week' as of 23rd September 2007 so thanks for that! Go check them out at:

Writing piece numbers 1, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16 and 19 are all attempts at humourous true stories designed for reading aloud on radio, specifically an Irish radio programme called 'Sunday Miscellany' most of these pieces have been on there, with me reading them out (you have to smile as you read, for some reason, which is fairly bloody difficult).
If you'd prefer a bit of regular fiction, try either pieces 2, 3, 4 or 8.
I do a lot of script writing (it's my main thing, really) but items 5 and now 20 are the only radio pieces I've put up here as yet. Number 17 - is the first theatre play extract.
Items 7 and 14 are TV review pieces, somewhat dated now I think.
Number 18 is a little extract from a diary i kept while on holiday in Deya (Majorca). I called it 'A Kick in the Balearics' but I was just trying to be smart really...
Want to hear a radio programme about last year's theatre play?
click here:

and click on 'The Moon Cut Like a Sickle'. Play extracts, cast interviews *author interview* (wow) it's like a DVD extra without, um, the DVD.
This year's play is now in rehearsal for performance in Feb 2008. There's a short extract here:

That's the story... let me know what you think, eh?
And thanks again for dropping by. Y'all come back now, y'hear?
Fantastic I thought these stories were fantastic. They may not have been what i usually read but they definatly caught my imagination so gripping. Only read a few of them though so i might have to start reading the rest. Keep up the good work
by Jack 67 weeks agoLONG DISTANCE This made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. At once haunting and emotional, a study of loss and the relationship between a father and son, with that love so rarely spoken of.
by Philip 75 weeks agoI read this at half past midnight, and I know it will stay with me as I try to fall asleep, and long after.
Great stuff, dude!
Just because it's great. I'm not intending this to be a particularly constructive or useful review - I just thought this was an excellent story. So it's not so much a review as a comment: I'm very impressed. ("Rasp".)
by Renegade Choriste 76 weeks agoHa ha I really liked this story, but it finished too quickly for me. Those green frogs had me really intrigued.

About time too... I've read all these before and always meant to leave a comment, so here it is.
by Chris Stewart 91 weeks agoQuick and funny snapshots of moments in time. Nicely written and good fun to read. Simple as that. Well done mate.

Great fun! Just read Rasp.
by Jeff Hannan 93 weeks agoThe stories are very entertaining. I shall read more. (I've recently got to handle some replica guns (don't ask), and I wondered whether I should secretly borrow one to brandish at an opportune time. But the police would probably shoot me.)
I'll check back and work my way through the rest.
