This is where I publish my stories, autobiographical, semi-autobiographical and fiction.
Just do be warned, I do have a very strange imagination and the stories are not aimed at children, so what might appear to be a perfectly normal fantasy story may have twists that suit more mature audiences however, if you are looking for porn, you ain’t gonna find it here.
Just to be completely clear. I have rated the stories from no rating, nothing explicit, X Slightly explicit, XX Slightly more explicit and XXX very explicit. You have been warned.
Recipe A spy story. About the only one I have ever written. Prompted by a story of a woman who had a very cherished Christmas Cake recipe from a Greek sailor. Names and nationalities have been changed to make the story more interesting. Do note that this story is set in the 1970s in South Africa and much of the atmosphere in the story comes from personal experience and memories of a time best forgotten.
Janey and the Dragons Fantasy story. It is more adult than erotic.
The Alien Short SciFi story 450 words
The Forest A dark fantasy. Short and to the point.
The Silver Princess A fantasy story with mildly erotic parts. X
Two Condoms for Mary This is a response to one of those challenges to write a coherent story in 200 words. I failed, but got close and had fun writing it.
Decay Fantasy, violence, redemption.
Ken A pretty much accurate description of part of a hike I did with a mixed group of hikers and a man I respected immensely.
The Prime Minister’s Holiday Home This story has elements of truth, elements of pure imagination and lots of fiddling to make sure no one who might have been involved is even vaguely recognisable.
Note: We, some friends and I did try to walk the Otter Trail years before it was ever conceived, but we walked in the opposite direction. We started the hike in beautiful weather and then a huge storm came in off the sea, turning the world into a dark raging hellscape. Any channel facing out toward the sea was filled with stinking foam that was hip deep. The accident of walking into private property, probably saved our lives.
Jan A story about a street person in Cape Town. I suspect it will grow.
Dream I had no idea where this one was going, I changed direction and then changed back. I ended up with this strange back and forth story.
14 Days I came across a challenge to write a full story in less than 200 words. Here it is. I cheated. 279 words. Take it or leave it.
Seeing Double Murder and Birding.
Mirror: Fantasy horror.

Cavedweller – a journey. This one lay around for months half completed because my heroine lay in a ball and refused to move or to co-operate with any story line I could think of. This went on until I had an argument with a colleague about the story and realised that I had tried to make my heroine something that she wasn’t. Once we had agreed on who she was and what she wanted, the story was easy.
Heroin. An almost true short story.
Rope – A Climbing Story
Car Thief – Crime Story
Fourier – A ghost story.
Samosa – Adventure story. My first at 9000 words.
