I’m pleased to share that my very short story inspired by Great Yarmouth’s (I assume now defunct) Louis Tussauds waxworks is published on Ric Journal.

My story ‘Action’ was read by the magnificent Mr Rich Keeble at Liars’ League’s 11th birthday event ‘Small and Beautiful.’ Here is the video in all it’s glory  – Enjoy my story of an action hero with striking attention to detail.
