• A Few Notes on The Interloper

  Posted at 8:09 am by Michael, on October 5, 2021

  Soon I will be releasing my story The Interloper.

  As I mention in the Foreword, it is a story that I wrote when I was a teenager—over 20 years ago. I have fiddled with the text, but it is largely intact from the original version that’s still located on the same 3.5″ floppy disk shown on the cover.

  I do not consider The Interloper to be indicative of my current abilities as a writer.

  So, why release it at all?

  I am releasing it in order to keep a promise.

  And in so doing, a piece of myself—an early, prototypical version of the artist I would become (am still becoming)—will finally have its place in the world.

  I will have set it free; I will have set myself free.

  Soon.

• Fragments and Stories and Organisation

  Posted at 8:43 am by Michael, on January 27, 2021

  I’ve added a page for Fragments that collects related stories under headings and specifies the unconnected fragments that stand alone.

  I’ve also added expanded blurbs for each story on the Short Stories page. This should help people know what they’re in for, although mileage may vary.

  Scary Vampyre Story has been removed; it is now The Blacksmith and the Priest.

• Just a Note

  Posted at 7:35 am by Michael, on February 5, 2020

  My early works, currently available on Amazon, will soon be unavailable to purchase.

  I have no intention of making them available again in the future.

  I consider these works juvenilia–they are representative of an earlier period in my life when creating and finishing them was something I needed to do in order to stay alive.

  If, for some reason, you are interested in purchasing any of the following pieces, you should do so now. I have included links below.

  Beens & Vanishments
  Westcrest – Season 1
  Westcrest – Season 2
  Hecatomb
  The Annabel Warrant Files
