Writing

- it was a dark and stormy night...

As well as illustrating Fantasy and SF I have also dabbled in writing. After all, writing and illustrating are both ways of giving an objective, external form to internalised imaginings. Here are some examples of my writing, some complete and as finished as they'll ever be, some excerpts of 'work-in-progress'...

I'd really appreciate feedback on these stories. Writing is a solitary pastime and it's difficult to know whether what you write is any good or not without an objective opinion. Good or bad, I'd like to hear what people think of these.

The story pages themselves have thumbnail pictures illustrating them. In most cases, you can see larger versions of these by selecting the thumbnails.
