Rant

This web-site has arisen out of my frustration with the more usual publication channels. Whilst it's true that I have managed to get some stuff published it's also true that I've had quite a bit rejected. After a while, being a human being (honest), one begins to get pretty pissed off with editors as critics. Who knows why they really don't like what we as writers do ? Maybe they're just having a bad day. I don't know if they realise how much time and effort (and money) it takes to get your writing to them. It really is quite a laborious process. Well, as you've probably seen by now I intend to circumvent this process and self-publish on the Web. Afterall, I'm supposed to be researching into it and embracing it wholeheartedly.

The short fiction included in this site appears in more-or-less chronological order (as far as I remember). The site isn't all that flash and maybe if I get time I'll try to improve things.

Finally, if you have any comments or criticisms please send them to me. Afterall, they can't possibly be worse than those already received ! Oh, and please don't rip me off.

Cheers, Tim, Leeds, 2001.
