A Podium Place!

My story ‘Mummy’s Boy‘ was voted into third place by the readers of Whortleberry Press’ Strange Mysteries 2. The anthology features loads of great stories and it is a great honour to have been off stiff competition for this award.

Big thanks to Jean Goldstrom and her team for accepting my story and for producing such a fine collection.
