Dearest Reader People
I’ve consolidated all my writing here on Wayward. Having done so, I’m conscious that phones don’t display the sections of my stack and that not everyone reads Notes or wants to Chat.
Here are the links to the current sections with brief description of content:
Tough tale about teens caught up in London’s gang culture
Short stories and flash fiction (mostly literary realist)
My writing inspirations
The Bible’s storytelling brilliance
If you’re already a subscriber to one section and wish to subscribe to another, or like some of my stuff but not all of it, head to the webpage for Wayward where you’ll see something like this:
minus the circle and arrow. Clicking on the [Subscribed] button will take you to a page revealing subscription options for each section.
What you’ll find here is literary fiction and reflection as well as faith reflection, all 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 open to learning and genuine dialogue.
Thanks for all your interest and ongoing support.

I went Scriptourer and was going to leave a comment on the Genesis piece, but was unable to do that without creating a profile. So I’ll leave it here:
This was magnificent, Adrian. I listened to your recording of this article, which really brings it to life. Interestingly, the letter “b” in both Hebrew and Arabic is a preposition meaning “in”; and Muslim and Jewish scholars in the middle ages drew parallels to the fact that both the opening of the Torah (beresheet) and Qur’an (bismallah) open with it.
Looking forward as always, Adrian!
