Wordling Away

I am delighted to release this omnibus of my lyric poetry for 2026. It covers fifty years of poetry writing and subjects ranging from dreams, nature, art, walking and modern life.

I'm delighted to release three new short science fiction stories for 2025:

Three short stories dipping into human existence on three planets in the future, Venus, Earth and Mars: In The Water Course we visit Venus and join Maude and her team as they truck water, seeing how precarious life can be on a terraformed planet, especially with no natural water source. Into the Dust is based on Mars with a team of scientists, headed up by May, trying to keep their project on track to re-terraform Earth with scant resources. In Seacant One we return to Earth where Dena is in charge of dismantling Seacant One, dangerous work involving booby-trapped robots and difficult working conditions.
