My first piece of published short fiction for 2013 has been released over at Literary Mayhem.

The site’s publisher Peter Schwotzer contacted me before the end of last year seeking a tale with a winter theme.
The first thought that came to mind was of something lurking beneath a lake and the rest flowed on from there. I really wanted to amp up that feeling of being cold and creeped out at the same time.
I also provided the artwork to go with the tale, an image that will hopefully linger in the reader’s mind long after the final line.
This is my first 4 cents a word paying short story too, so I’m pretty chuffed. Hope you all enjoy it.
