Since my post about making a living from art, I’ve decided to follow the example of Scottish writer Hal Duncan, and make one of my short stories available in PDF format in return for donations.

I will send a copy of the 5100 word story by email to anyone who makes a donation using the “Buy” tab above. There is no set amount: if you’d like me to send you a copy of the story, simply pay whatever you think is a fair price.

The story is called ‘What Would Nicolas Cage Have Done?’.

It received a good response when it appeared in the Future Bristol anthology from Swimming Kangaroo Books, and now the time has come to open it up to a wider audience.

The story starts with a young man meeting a beautiful shop assistant while playing truant from his office job, and ends up somewhere far weirder and stranger than he could possibly have imagined…

Click the “Buy” tab and not only will you have the chance to get a copy of this story for whatever you think it’s worth, you’ll also have the satisfaction of supporting a writer trying to make an honest living through his work.
