My Writing Year - 2016


For me, 2016 has been the year of unfathomable exhaustion and (as a very dear friend put it) no headspace. Despite that, I somehow managed to tick a few things off the bucket list.

First off, two of my stories were shortlisted for a British Fantasy Award (Short Story and Novella categories). Then, later in the year, I sold a story to The Dark, and then, just this month, I found out that the story As Cymbals Clash, has been chosen for Paula Guran's The Years Best Dark Fantasy & Horror 2017. Serious Bucket List moments.

So, what has been published this year.

Snowbooks re-released my novella, The Bureau of Them.
Frightful Horrors released an ebook, Shadow Moths, containing two of my short stories - Blood Moth Kiss and We Make our Own Monsters Here.
The Coyote Corporation's Misplaced Song in The Hyde Hotel (anthology)
In the Macabre Theatre of Nightshade Place in Postscripts
As Cymbals Clash in The Dark 
A Silent Comedy in Clowns - The Unlikely Coulrophobia Remix (anthology)

Forthcoming in 2017
As Cymbals Clash in The Years Best Dark Fantasy & Horror 2017
The Gargoyles of Killfellen House in Sherlock Holmes's School For Detection

Will post my favourite novels/short stories of the year tomorrow.
