CoverMy short story Greenfields has been published in the Summer 2015 Mappa-Mundi-themed issue of Sein und Werden. Cartography and geography (obviously) feature in each of the stories in the issue, so why don’t you navigate yourself Greenfields to read my tale, and then take a recce around the Contents page (which also features landmark writing from authors such as Gary Budgen, Allen Ashley and B Drew Collier)?

As well as being about mapping, my story is also about football. Rachel Kendall, who edits and runs Sein, tells me it is the first football-themed story she’s ever accepted!

So take a look. Go on, you know you want to…
