Writing Portfolio
The stories that are being showcased on this webpage are from two separate pieces of work.
The pieces from "Bad Liver and a Broken Heart" stand alone as short stories, but are actually chapters of a complete book. If you keep reading, after a time you can see the connection, and the continuation of the narrative.
"Comfort and Joy" is a Christmas Trilogy in process. The two stories here are the opening chapters of the first and second parts.
Alongside this, the blog describes the thought processes behind each story. The accompanying artworks are original pieces. Thank you to the artists who agreed to let their work be used on this page.
