On May 11th 2024 I visited the gorgeous Northfield Community Garden in Birmingham by invitation of my dear friend Emma Waterford. I went to tell some stories, but in the end we all made up a new story together, which against a backdrop of the road and various mysterious industrial sounds, I recorded on my iPhone. The people there just made up this story on the spot, listening to what the past pers...

This is my adaptation of an old Russian folktale "The Snow Maiden"

I promised to write something new for each of the festivals on the pagan calendar- expecting these to be short stories- but this is a bit stranger- somewhere between a poem and a dream. Hope you enjoy it and happy longest day all!

As winter turned to spring we explored, wrote about, and considered many themes together  : dawn and dusk, fools and tricksters, luck and superstition, the moon and the stars, maps and murmurations. Our last session was inspired by the literary Salons and Hellfire...

Hi all ! I committed to writing  a new short story for each of the festivals in the pagan calendar- to be fair this one is "upcycled" from an older story I performed at the Royal Albert Hall for For Books Sake a few years back. I'm trying to be braver about things not being perfect and just do it in the time I have available which often isn't much! It's a feminist fairytale for the 21st century- f...
