My short story Roadside Shoes is now available to read online via East of the Web! It’s a fantasy story about a young girl who can see otherworldly creatures. I’d love it if you could check it out and let me know what you think!
“Most people would see that shoe and assume a drunken partygoer had forgotten it somehow, or that perhaps even a car had driven past and it had possibly fallen from the window unknowingly. But Jenny knew better.”
It’s another story that I had accepted by using The Submission Grinder, so if you’re looking to keep on top of markets and submissions then it really is an invaluable tool and I can’t recommend it enough. I’ve also been doing my own searches for short story markets on the web, but I’ve been adding any I find to the index on The Submission Grinder.

Each fortnight for The Folklore Archive, I’ll uncover lost stories, superstitions, and traditions that have faded from memory by digging into old historical newspapers and folklore collections.
From mischievous pixies to curious folk remedies, if you want to read about the weird and wonderful history of British folklore, I’ll deliver it straight to your inbox.
I’ll also be sharing my original pen-and-ink illustrations and updates on my writing projects, particularly for my book on Devon Folklore.
