How do you write about ecstasy, in a spiritual, artistic, or sensual context?
It's not something I tend to do terribly often. I think the closest I've come is the ending to my story 'The Lay-by-rinth', which was published in HOPE: The Thing With Feathers.
Mithqal is from N Gaza and his home was left in ruins. He needs money for food, water and essentials. His young son Firas was also injured recently. All help appreciated.

Really stoked to have my story 'Hollow Be Thy Name' in this Samhain British horror 'zine from @generalwitch1
It's loosely inspired by the Packwood House Yew Garden that haunted my childhood.

I'm a campaign fundraiser for Waseem in Gaza, who is in the North and in a zone that's been given evacuation orders recently. He's in a lot of danger, along with his wife and three little boys.
Waseem was an accountant before all this happened. But the family was bombed out of their home and now there is no source of paid work.
I'd dearly like to see him get as much support as possible.

Really thrilled to have my audio drama on the Spec Fic Radio Theatre Podcast this week. Backdrop imagines a flooded future London in which the residents wish to be reminded on the past. A bit of surreal dystopia for your ears.

For Father's Day, a quotation about Mark's dad, who's not exactly the best of parents. But he did kind of do his best in his own way, bless him.
