About Me

I'm a full-time scientist and a spare-time writer from West Lothian, Scotland. I tend to write very tiny stories, also called flash or micro-fiction.

 

My flash fiction has been published online on websites such as Nanoism and 101 Words, and my story 'The Winter Cabin' won the Scottish Book Trust's 50 Word Fiction Competition in December 2019.
