If ghosts can pass through walls, what happens when gravity still works?

I've always been fascinated by the logic behind ghosts.

If they're able to pass through walls, doors, cars, etc... then surely the ground shouldn't be any different.

Which got me wondering:

What happens if gravity still affects them?

That little thought eventually became Nexus of Regret, my latest short story.

Two strangers meet on a forest road after a fatal accident. They're forced to confront the fact that they're dead, but that's only the beginning.

The story explores guilt, regret, self-forgiveness, and some of the ideas we carry around about what might happen after we die.

I'm deliberately not going to explain too much more. I think stories like this are more interesting when you can discover the rules yourself.

I'm curious what you think, though.

If ghosts could pass through the ground, would gravity eventually pull them somewhere? And if so... where?

Nexus of Regret is now available as an EPUB for anyone interested.

IACR [206 Bones] by [Kathy Reichs]

Easily one of the best authors to the genre. I got this one in a haul from a customer who noticed how I always seemed to have my nose in a book. 🤓

Free EPUB download: Shadowman

I've just released my 4th flash fiction story as a free EPUB.

It's dark. It's short. And, judging by the title, it probably shouldn't be trusted to wander around unattended. 😂

Since today also happens to be my birthday, I thought I'd do something slightly more interesting than simply announcing it.

The first 45 people who find a hidden link tucked away in one of my previous ebooks will get a month of membership for free. 🎂

No complicated competition. No “like, share and tag seventeen people” nonsense.

Just read the story, explore the catalogue, and keep your eyes open.

Something might be following you. 👀

Download this and my other flash fiction EPUBs here.

[Flash Fiction] Sirius Event is now available for download as an EPUB

I enjoy writing short stories that begin with a simple question.

This one asks: What happened to the crew of a star freighter found drifting through deep space?

The Sirius Event is my third flash fiction story, and I've made it available as a free EPUB download on Patreon. There's also a little surprise hidden inside for anyone who enjoys poking around. 😉

I'd genuinely love to hear what you think if you give it a read.

New Release: 26.2 (EPUB)

I've just released my second short story as a free EPUB for my Patreon supporters.

One thing I've been enjoying lately is learning the publishing side of writing. Formatting ebooks, designing covers, fixing broken links, wrestling with EPUB exports... it's a completely different skill set from actually writing the story.

It's not perfect yet, but neither am I. The important thing is getting the work out there and improving with every release.

If psychological horror, thrillers, and unsettling stories are your thing, 26.2 is now available.

Feedback is always welcome, and I hope you enjoy the read.

M45 looking to make potential work & social connections

Hi there! I'm Iain, a 45-year-old retail worker from Johannesburg. Outside of work, I'm interested in homelabs, Linux, writing, photography, cars, motorcycles, aviation, films, and (to a slightly lesser degree, these days) gaming. I'm here to meet people, have good conversations, and hopefully make professional connections. Looking forward to chatting!
