Coming Soon! Defensive Wounds & Other Stories...

I'm really very awfully pleased to be able to announce that my new collection of stories, Defensive Wounds & Other Stories, is to be published in March by the Black Shuck Books.

I'm sure I'll have more to say about it leading up to the launch, but for now I'll just post the cover design and TOC, as well as say a huge thanks to Steve Shaw at Black Shuck for putting this out there, and to all who've supported my writing so far, allowing this to happen.
