Falls the Shadow
Falls the Shadow was my second attempt at writing a novel. Its not astoundingly good (I don't think I even thought it was at the time), but it involved a lot of work. For a while I lost the rest of this book, but I have now found copies of them again. I could post them on the website as well if anyone cared. If you would like to see them please email me and let me know.

Poetry
Unfortunatly most of the poems that were here have now being lost, having been accidentally overwritten. I will try and add some more in the future if I write more, or find them again.
Legend of the Five Rings related Stories
These are stories realted to the world of the Legends of the Five Rings roleplaying and card game. These also appear on my Scorpion web pages. Part of my scorpion site is a noticeboard on which a number of collaborative stories have been told, which I have written bits of.

Miscellaneous Short Stories
I wrote this one in the dark at a modernist Jazz concert some years ago, hence the Jazz images in the story, and the beat which I at least kid myself underlies the words.
The inspiration for this was quite simple, the sound of rain on the leaves outside my bedroom window.
Tales Retold
These stories are all British/Celtic Fairy Tales transposed into the modern world. For the most part the actual plots are traditional, but they are modified to varying extents.
This one is very much an actual recorded story, I just fleshed it out a little.
This story follows no particular tale, but the images of the abduction, and details such as the ground Ivy, are acurate. The Red Headed Man is intended to represent Thomas the Rhymer, the one mortal to live with the Fairies.
