I, Corporation
I almost cannot believe that I do not have a post or any content relating to my other “novel in progress” (or rather more accurately stalled and unsure if it will ever get picked up again) I, Corporation. It was supposed to be my third book, and a deliberate break in style – an attempt…

Untitled Everywoman
Back when I was a LOT younger, I wrote the lyrics to a handful of songs. As with a lot of my writing, going back and doing a re-read of them now with the benefit of hindsight and being a trans person, I can see me, the real female me, trying to tell the old…

Killing Us
This is a piece I wrote back in February 2023 just after the transphobic murder of Brianna Ghey. Depressingly, I’ve had to add a couple of new lines to it to cater for the people who are now willingly lending their talent and fame to the further enrichment of the person who is successfully winning…

Soteriology
This story came from an idea I will be using in a later work, but which started as “a hazmat suit which could withstand Hell”. From that idea came the first line – after all, humanity’s first foray into the Inferno would likely not go well. Of all the recent crop of short stories I’ve…

Albion’s Witness

The Department
So, this idea was originally going to be “the plot” of Displacement – I envisioned an opening scene cutting between parallel narratives of a surgeon desperately trying to save a patient on the operating theatre with someone being mugged in an alley – the conceit being I would use the same dialogue between intercut scenes…

Cancelled
A short poem I wrote after another morning of disrupted travel to work, and general feelings on who our “elected representatives” are blaming for the ills of the world, when we should be looking elsewhere. Cancelled Another cancelled trainAnother disrupted morningCommuters stood around yawningAs we’re all made late again. First world problems we all agreeAt…

Monument
I wrote this last night, towards the end of Trans Day of Remembrance, and it kinda poured out of me, like a lot of my best stuff does. Monument Where is our monument?The monolith to our lost siblingsOur memorialTo those of usWho had the ultimate pricePlaced on their headsUnwillinglyBy “civilised” societyWhen it is anything butA…
