Re-Connections

I’m delighted to announce the forthcoming publication of my first collection of short stories.

The collection, which will be published through Ocelot Press on 15th October 2025^*, consists of thirty-seven stories of connecting, disconnecting and reconnecting.

Written over all the years of my writing career, they show how much this topic has interested me. I’ve often wondered how some people make friends easily while others struggle to find any, and why so many marriages and partnerships break up, often after many years. Even more surprising are relationships and friendships that resume after a breakup.

Some of the stories are wholly or partly biographical while others are totally fictional. Moods range from sad to uplifting to humorous. Story lengths also vary.

A few of the stories have been published in various anthologies and are republished here with permission.

During the coming weeks, I will feature a selection of the stories on this blog and also on Substack. You’re welcome to subscribe for free.

* Re-Connections launches on 15th October 2025 as an ebook and as a paperback. The ebook is available to pre-order now from Amazon at a specially reduced price. Here’s the link.
