I opted for free copies of the Biscuit collection rather than take my £25 winnings! Cover looks good and I'm looking forward to reading.
About Me
- Mark
- Determined to earn a living writing, I majored in American Literature at Sussex University in the late '70s. One day I looked in the shaving mirror and a Banker stared back at me. Recovering from the shock, I recently started letting the Writer out on parole. He's having some success, but we won't be giving up the day job just yet.

Fishy
Posted entries to the Fish Short Story and Flash competitions. www.fishpublishing.com
Was longlisted twice for Fish Flash previously.
Currently working on a time-travel piece for Radio 4's afternoon reading. Quite like it so far and think if it's read by the right person on the right day they might accept.

Revving Up
So, having achieved a runner-up position in the 2010 Biscuit Flash Fiction Contest http://www.biscuitpublishing.com/comp/flash2010.html I'm rethinking my writing strategy. That winning entry was a tongue-in-cheek horror story penned for a WriteWords FF1 challenge sometime back. Importantly I enjoyed writing it. Not genre fiction, but pretty close and a mile away from my more literary efforts.
My rarely upkept 'Pounding The Keys' blog is dead and 'Fiction Hound' is launched. Purpose, to track the direction of my writing, which I intend to be more intense, competitive, commercial and fun.
