New collection from NewCon Press

I’m pleased to announce that NewCon Press in the UK will be publishing the first collection of my original short stories – it will contain a mixture of previously published work along with new stories. I’m also delighted to add that Kim Newman is writing the introduction.

The collection is called The Boughs Withered (When I Told Them My Dreams), and is scheduled to be launched at Worldcon in Dublin in August 2019.

The title comes from a new short story in the collection called ‘The Boughs Withered When I Told Them My Dreams’, which was inspired by a line in a Yeats poem called ‘The Withering of the Boughs‘.

More information on the ToC, cover, etc. will be released in the coming months.

A heartfelt thank you to Ian Whates at NewCon Press for this opportunity, and for always being supportive of my work.

Kim, as always, is a treasure.
