Dearest Reader People

I’ve recently consolidated all my writing here on the newly named Wayward. Having done so, I’m conscious that phones don’t display the sections of my substack and that not everyone reads Notes or wants to Chat.

Should you wish to subscribe only to some or all of my writing, here are the links to those sections with brief description of content:

1. Novella, The Pelican Crossing

Tough tale about teens caught up in London’s gang culture

2. Fulgurites

Literary short stories and flash fiction

3. Fathoms

Reflections on all that inspires my writing

4. Scriptourer

Reflecting on the brilliance of the Bible’s storytelling

If you’re already a subscriber to one section and wish to subscribe to another, it looks like you have to unsubscribe from Wayward and then resubscribe, which will then give you the new options. Apols. Somewhat a pain.

What you’ll discover here, then, is literary fiction and faith reflection, with storytelling and its ancient power as the gravitational centre.

Unfortunately, the term literary fiction seems to have dissolved into a mush of either the waffly/florid or else done-to-deathcrafted prose that’s no where near as clever as it thinks it is. Alas, I have no better phrase to describe my failing enterprise to pen fiction that longs to be literature.

Equally, Catholic I am, but it’s a loaded word these days that seems more designed to create barriers than open doors (its original meaning). You’ll find an exploratory version of faith here and one that’s always open to learning and genuine dialogue.

Thanks for all your interest and ongoing support.

Adrian
