First Thing

I'm a writer of fiction, mainly, and have published short stories, many of them finding a home in print and all over the web.

My latest novel is The Fortune Teller's Factotum. See the next page for more details.

See also pages for my novels and novellas:  

The Dali Squiggle (2024)
Cleopatra's Script  (2022)
The Émigré  Engineer  (2021) 
 A Blue Coast Mystery, Almost Solved 2020 
The Exploding Elephant (2018)  
Laikonik Express (2011) 

I post links to my published short stories here too, or sometimes the stories themselves. I also post some of my unpublished writing, some of it unpublishable maybe, and some of it just works-in-progress, or stasis, and will welcome comments, criticism, creative derision and crisps.

Be in touch - it's good to talk, apparently. Find me on Facebook, which is a either a complete waste of time or just a partial one. I can also be tweeted @nikone3na though I've not been partaking in Twitter very much recently. That's the same as my often neglected Instagram handle.
