STORY - Research Bulletin OX1454 – Recreational Past-Times

I've never written about football before, and the overblown as ever coverage of tonights England-Holland game made me see if I could come up with a quick soccer related sci fi story. So, here we go.

STORY - Salyut 6

Well, with a few spare minutes at the library, doesn't it occur to everyone to write a story about the last thoughts of an abandoned Soviet Space Station?

Short Story - East West

This story was also posted to my tumblr. It was written in 13 minutes, a self inflicted challenge to write a story in the 13 minutes it takes to listen to the classic "East West" by the Butterfield Blues Band. Trippy Psych Blues to write sci fi to!

The Red Light of Fear

And a good evening to you

So Bloody Mulberry is up and running, and here I am to talk about it.

What is Bloody Mulberry? Well, it is the label I have decided to give my modes of self expression - ugh, cue appearance in pseuds corner in Private Eye - that after supportive encouragement and a bit of self inflicted "Show some balls and get on with it" boots up backside here I am.

I write short stories, and scripts, and also films. In the past I wrote a couple funded by a University and then the UK Film Council, but then things went quiet and I felt, well maybe I'm not up to it.

I always wrote. I just didn't show anybody. I wrote scripts, and got deflated everytime DV shorts or whoever rejected me. Well, now I'm putting them out there. Between here and my tumblr;

You will find short stories, films, stories read aloud, stories discussed, and maybe stories that die on the vine. Other fun stuff will be found too.  Mainly of a sci fi and horror bent, but with a bit of retro and other stuff thrown in.

I hope you enjoy it.
