Twisted Tax Tales

Featuring 35 short stories from an international mix of authors, Twisted Tax Tales is an anthology resulting from a competition run in 2016 by Success Tax Professionals. All profits from the book will be donated to the Save The Tasmanian Devil Appeal. My story, Life, Death and Taxes, was judged to be in the top 25 entries, and is included in the publication. I’m delighted to be a part of the project.

Tasmanian devils are one of my favourite animals, partly because I am Tasmanian myself. The species is under threat from Devil Facial Tumour Disease, a contagious cancer. DFTD has had a devastating effect on the wild population. Funds raised will go towards research into combating this major threat. It will be a tragedy if we lose these wonderful little animals. Please consider buying a copy of the anthology, or making a direct donation, and spread the word.

Here you go, everyone. I have released a brand new horror short story, Tasmanian Devils, set in the wilderness of my home state. Currently available on Amazon, and shortly through other retailers too. The base idea for this had been rattling around in my head for a while. I hope you enjoy it!
