This is the first time I've supplied a bio longer than the actual work!

Freelance Writer
The Rule of Six
Does 6 words count as flash fiction? I've 6 words in the latest issue of TYPE! magazine, which you can read for free here.
Daemons & Ghosts
A section of my research log appears in the new issue of the Digital Review, as a Twine work, Daemons & Ghosts. I usually like to hide behind fiction, and my original submission to the DR was actually a story, but it was the research log detailing the creation of the story that was accepted. I'm very grateful to be part of their AI-themed issue!

I'm working as one of the writers on a new 26 project, 26 Plants, in association with the Wildlife Trusts. I was (randomly) assigned Alpine Lady Fern.

I worked as one of the editors on the 26 Places in Cornwall project, which gave me the chance to work with some amazing writers. I wasn't able to visit Cornwall during the project, but certainly learnt a lot!

I'm proud to have worked on The World of Earthborne. Available as a kickstarter exclusive, this book contains art and lore from the upcoming Earthborne Rangers game.
Earthborne Rangers is a sustainably-made game set in an exciting, optimistic future. I'm glad to have been involved, and hope this game shows others the way...

We Strike First
I've a new story up on the Fantasy Flight Games website: We Strike First, an L5R short story introducing the Hare clan. I say introducing, but some players will be familiar with (and possibly loyal to) the Hare of the old lore... so I hope they approve of the new Hare!
The Sugar Merchant
The Sugar Merchant was read at the Liars' League London event in December. It was quite the event, fully booked and festive. Here's the video of Paul Clarke bringing the story to life.
