Today, nothing bad happened.
No one I even vaguely knew
got sent to prison
for something
they did not do,
so I would have to stand
outside the court with a banner
protesting their innocence.....

Seriously Autumn selected poems.
The poems in this collection are mostly about love in all its various guises from infatuation to 'real love', love of place to scary obsession.
The poems in Seriously Autumn examine love from different aspects and draw on imagination and memory.
....Seriously Autumn
It surprised me, a little. Not that the red gold leaves had fled
the trees to do their Dervish dance macabre on the bride white
ground to let me know that it was seriously Autumn but that I had not
thought of you since April and your birthday. ....

A collection of short stories that have time as their general theme; how we use and misuse time and how time, sometimes, uses and misuses us.
Lupino who wants a different tomorrow and thinks that he can get it by changing the past, Lucien who is reborn in to a world very different from the one he imagines he has helped to create, Octavia who becomes infatuated with an ancestor and nearly ruins the world's existence and her own future happiness and many more who use time in sometimes surprising ways.

VOICES collected short stories
All the stories in this collection are told by a single voice. From Sarah Stern in Choices, who flies half way round the world to meet the mother who abandonned her to Mr Stine who wants nothing more than a quiet Christmas and on to the widowed mum who finds solace in her young son's gentleness.
These stories talk to the reader in special way
Choices ".......genuinely outstanding. I was totally involved from the first sentence,the pacing
was just right, the characters (even the minor ones) came to life for me and
there was an elegance and craftsmanship about the structure that set it
completely apart from a merely "good" personal account....." David Gardener
