Flagposts in the sand

For some reason my blog seems to be receiving a fair amount of traffic at the moment which is very encouraging.  I thought, for those who may find themselves here and don't have much idea of what I've written about in the past, I would post a smattering of recent pieces for you to peruse at will.  Sort of like a 'Greatest Hits' collection, one of those clever marketing ploys to repeat-sell old material.  Only you've paid for none of this so it matters not a bit...


My 2013 novel 'Digital' is available to purchase on Kindle here.  (Alternatively if you would like a physical copy just send me an email and I can arrange that for you.)


Primarily I write fiction.  Here are a few of my recent short stories:

'The Room and the Code'
'The Silent Treatment'
'The Library of Bill'


Psychogeographic writings on different places:

'The story of John Rae reimagined as a charting of London's Northwest Passage'
'One Day in Kiev'
'Chernobyl - a Pompeii for the 20th century'
'Moscow to the end of the line (before giving up)'
'Manchester, so much to answer for...'


I also write about films:

'Irreversible'
'Inland Empire'
'CitizenFour'


And occasionally music:
'The year 1994 - The Twin Peaks of Nihilism'


Profiles and interviews:

'In Conversation with Will Self'
'John Pilger'


Current affairs:

'The profound 'brain fade' of the Green Party's Natalie Bennett'
'The Interview' story - American hypocrisy towards North Korea'
'Oil Exhibition - the ecstasy of black gold'


Random thought pieces:

'The strange yet persistent allure of Battersea Power Station'
'How to disappear completely'
