He tells himself that his past is behind him, but he’ll never escape his childhood in Lake North’s labs. What was done to him there, what he was made into,… Continue reading Mouse Cage

Meeting by Mischance
( An old, very short piece, in which Troy Salcedo - lab mouse protagonist of Mouse Cage - meets someone who didn't know where the data for their biotech patent work came from. This dates back to before 2009, so is from about the time I started taking writing seriously. This possibly remains canonical, although… Continue reading Meeting by Mischance

Dangerous Jade
Dangerous Jade Never trust a smiling girl when she tells you what her name is. Especially not when she's a furry, one of the exotic mass produced clones of the city of San Iadras. Is her name Jamie? Really? There are a hundred and sixty-eight girls with that exact face, and that exact voice purring… Continue reading Dangerous Jade
Jack, Schuyler’s Giant Killer
( A short story from a sort of... body-horror, gore-tastic, ridiculous setting I really want to do more with. Quite an early work, back when I was more or less posting stuff like this on hobby forums and the equivalent of DeviantArt. ) Jack, Schuyler's Giant Killer by Malcolm 'foozzzball' Cross (8000 words) "The sky… Continue reading Jack, Schuyler’s Giant Killer
Workblog For The Week : Getting worked over by the muse.
After a slightly rocky start to the year, I find myself in the pleasant situation of being able to report that the muse has come along and inspired me to start work on something that may turn into a Troy/Jen novella or serial. It's a surprisingly significant whack of inspiration, too. The kind that most… Continue reading Workblog For The Week : Getting worked over by the muse.

Workblog for the week: Achoo!
I have a condition which I will refer to as, the Sneezles. Work-wise I have a few new bits and pieces which might end up in interesting short stories in the not too distant future, and I've gotten a few rejections, but one very personal and positive, so I feel quite upbeat about it. Dangerous… Continue reading Workblog for the week: Achoo!
An evening with Terry Pratchett + Tomorrow.
Well. Okay. That was extraordinarily thinglike. I've just returned from Drury Lane (or nearly Drury Lane, in any case) where 'An Evening With Terry Pratchett' was held. Theatre, packed to the brim with people, myself in the absolute nosebleed seats in the balcony back row, all staring down there as the man himself and his… Continue reading An evening with Terry Pratchett + Tomorrow.
Document 0A-21040513
(This somewhat in-world document predates Dog Country by quite some time, so might not be fully canonical, but offers an alternative perspective on the events around the T-Bone marketplace. I sometimes enjoy making strange little artefacts!) Document 0A-21040513
You Can Never Go Home
( This is quite an early Estians/War Dogs story, written long before I started work on Dog Country. The protagonist does have a brief cameo in Dog Country, however. ) It was a long way home. Evran had thought that, thousands and thousands of miles away, back in Tajikistan, before things had hit the wall.… Continue reading You Can Never Go Home
