Getting a pilot’s license was the furthest thing from her mind – until an ex-RAF instructor suggested that she wasn’t competent to do so. The thing is, he could be right. Sylvia has just a few weeks to prove that she can fly as well as any man.
You Fly Like a Woman tells the story of one woman’s search for confidence as she stumbles into a man’s world.
You Fly Like a Woman is now available as an ebook from Amazon.

My short story, Excerpt from The Geusian Ladies Society Food InfoManual, is included in this charity anthology by the Writers Abroad online writing group.
“The anthology takes as its theme food, drink and recipes from around the world. It is a tantalizing collection of fiction and non-fiction, full of spice and flavour and sprinkled with mouth-watering recipes. The wide-ranging, sometimes bittersweet, contributions show how adaptable an ex-pat has to be to leave familiar dishes behind and venture into the culinary unknown.”
The anthology is available on Lulu now: Foreign Flavours by Writers Abroad in Literature & Fiction. All proceeds will go to The Book Bus.

I thought I’d post a snippet of steampunk for your delight and delectation. This piece was inspired by the Forgotten Futures story contest in New Scientist. You can hear me reading it on my blog: Can’t Backspace » Short Fiction: Parabola. It took me all day to get the recording to work with my iPhone so if no one listens to it, I might cry. Just sayin’.
My short story, Dixie Dust, has been accepted for the zombie anthology Gone with the Dirt: Undead Dixie by Pill Hill Press.
