New to my work? These six pieces are a good place to begin. They’ll give you a feel for what I write about and how I write. River is in Shore, if you want the whole book.

Six pieces to start with

River
A man at the water’s edge, and what pulls him back.

Drive Home
Things fall apart. We keep moving.

Hometown Blues
Back home. Everything’s changed.

Context
Swearing, Scotland, and what the writing is for.

Ten Pounds
A ten-pound note, a mother’s love, and the memories it carries.

Midnight Rambler
A sleepless night, a borrowed cigarette, a town that feels like home.

The collections

Shore
January to March 2026. Built out of real days, hard weather, music, and the need to make something real. On Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.

Death
The new collection — poetry and prose written in the months after Shore. Some pieces are on the blog now; the rest are coming.

Going further

Burn and the rest of the books are on the Books page. And there’s new writing on the blog every week.
