By day I'm a video game consultant, and I also volunteer at the German Shepherd Dog Welfare Fund - the charity that rescued the dog I adopted last year. I've also recently started compiling a website covering the history of the village I live, although I'm hoping to draw in some help for that project! Here is scratchpad when I need it, and a place for my personal projects. It's also an archive from back when this was was my writing blog.

An Odd Quartet New Cover
Thanks to Anita Kotlarska I now have a shiny new cover for An Odd Quartet. I think it's pretty cool! She's just getting started but has a wonderful talent, check out her website to see more.
An Odd Quartet is a collection of four dark short stories, each with a twist in the tale. A bargain collection for only 77p (99c)!
The Yellow Lady
A grave robber encounters a ghost from a story he was told as a child.
This Empty Place
At the heat death of the universe, the Grim Reaper contemplates his existence.
Forced Entry
A special forces team enters a sunurban house to rescue a family taken hostage, they encounter more than they were trained for.
The Reluctant Demon
A young demon prepares to take his possession exam.
This Drabble Enhanced edition also includes some of my favourite drabbles (100 word stories).
Praise for An Odd Quartet:
"I loved these short stories. Especially the one titled The Reluctant Demon. This is a great concept that I have never thought of before and really loved it."
"I liked it. A nice assortment of tales, each presented in a slightly different manner. Very original!"
"Michael Brookes' writing style is easy and accessible. He can certainly turn out a story you will remember."
"This book was a truly amazing collection of four short stories. Each one was imaginative, beautifully written and clever. I was particularly amazed by the second story, which managed to span the entire life of the universe in so few words."
