I live in the north west of England with my girls, Sarah and Luna. I like to cook, eat, drink, play music, wear sunglasses all the time and write strange little darkly comic (imo) and emotional short stories. I like creating work that’s absurd, playful, magical and (just occasionally) a little unsettling. I’ve been published extensively online and in print and my work has been nominated for Best Small Fictions, Best Microfictions, Best of the Net, Best British and Irish Flash Fiction and the Pushcart Prize. I’ve also served as Associate Editor for Tiny Molecules and Trampset lit mags.

I’ve been featured in several print anthologies and in 2022 my debut collection, Talking to Ghosts at Parties was published by Storgy Books. Unfortunately, Storgy are now defunct and the book is no longer in circulation (you may be able to find it if you look hard enough) but fear not! you can read a selection of my favourite stories here on my website, and there’s plenty more in the works.

If you’d like to get in touch about work, or anything else, then just use the form on this website, email or socials.

Peace and love,

Rick
