2021 Publication List

2021 has been a quiet year. I have been recovering from intensive anthology submissions in 2019 & 2020, and developing new research interests for future scholarship. 

It is now December and my publications (aside from reviews and blog entries) include:

(Editor: Shirley Way, Sub-editors: Patsy Poppenbeek & Spike Deane). Published by the AFTS Committee & Editorial Troupe. Pages 19-21. Website: https://australianfairytalesociety.wordpress.com/

 Penumbra #2 contains my inaugural essay on Lord Dunsany: ““The Quest of Iranon” and Don Rodriguez: Chronicles of Shadow Valley: Two Exercises in the Picaresque.” Penumbra, (Edited by S.T. Joshi)

Here is what fellow reviewer and poet Leigh Blackmore had to say.

PLAY by Black Hare Press contains what I consider my darkest horror story ever!

I don't think I will ever write a darker tale - because I like to use psychological fantasy and even a bit of weird humour. Since writing "The Soul Doll" I have been facing the challenge of writing black comedy & of course, the probability this will lead to more rejection as humour appears to be a tricky market. So serious horror fans can enjoy "The Soul Doll" as my last dark opus...
