My second book of short stories (plus one novella) called Beyond Between was published on 21st June 2023 and can now be ordered from the publisher. It is available in paperback and eBook (Kobo and Amazon) formats.
20 Journeys Through The Multiverse
What might happen if the barriers between the worlds within the multiverse break down? What might come through from those worlds into our own, or leak out of our world to others? What possibilities might we encounter if we discover the technology or the power within ourselves to break down those barriers?
What strange beings might we encounter when we explore those worlds? Could we adapt to these worlds, evolving into new forms no longer compatible with our home world? Might we even forget our own Earthly origins? After hundreds or even thousands of years, could Earth become nothing more than a forgotten memory?
Read some possibilities within these pages!
Set on the remote Norfolk coastal village of Sea Palling during the 1970s, this emotional roller coaster by Norfolk resident, Linda Anne Atterton, pulls no punches. It is a novel of love and loss which carries us through sunshine and shadow to a tempestuous end that, somehow, must become a new beginning. Be prepared to shed tears!

My extremely short story, The Best Solution, has been accepted for the new Clarity anthology (the word count maximum was 300). More details here.
The 2022 edition was published April 2022. It contains another of my stories, "Space Paint." Here's the Kindle Amazon link.
My collection of 18 short stories on the dual themes of "world endings" and "time travel" is now available. Titled Time Enough for the World to End, it can be obtained from the Viva Djinn (Horde) Publishing website or, as a Kindle ebook from Amazon.
From the back cover: "How many ways could civilisation, mankind or even the whole world come to an end? Is time travel something that can be controlled? But what if time travel controls you? Here are eighteen short stories from the author of Time Portals of Norwich and Splinters that seek to explore both themes, some with humour, others nightmarishly horrifying. Some stories manage to combine both themes."
Three of my short stories can be found in this new Science Fiction anthology which is available from Amazon (paperback / e-book) or as an e-book only from Smashwords and Barnes & Noble.
My science fiction novel Splinters is also now available for purchase via the Viva Djinn (Horde) Publishing website. For those wishing to read the Kindle ebook version please visit Amazon.

A story I uploaded onto Wattpad around 18 months ago in response to a competition in conjuction with National Geographic (where it reached the top 10 submissions) has, for the past 4 weeks, been in the #1 position on Wattpad's Science Fiction category - I have absolutely no idea why!
You can read that, and all my other stories uploaded on Wattpad here.
I have finally updated Sudoku Assistant from an ancient Java applet that most web browsers apart from Internet Explorer would no longer run. It is now written in JavaScript and runs on all modern web browsers, including Internet Explorer 11. Along with the rewrite it's been enhanced in a few ways as well as having some of the redundant tick box settings removed (these are now permanently enabled). You can find it by clicking here.
After a recent Redwell Writers meeting where guest Simon K Jones came along to tell us all about serialised publishing, I'm attempting to do exactly that for my science fiction novel Splinters.
With the 40th anniversary of being celebrated by Punk In The East and the release of various old Toads tracks by Detour Records on their Bored Teenagers label, the Toads web site has had a number of new additions including updated information and some downloadable copies of various fanzines from 1977.
The original Norfolk Knitters and Stitchers web site has now been joined by the new overarching Knitters and Stitchers site along with dedicated sites for Suffolk and Essex.

After several years of threatening to do this I have finally rebuilt this whole site using the 'module' code in use on many of my other sites. Several older items have been permanently retired and there are other sections that have yet to be reinstated (such as the photos) but those will be added back in as I get around to them. Please note that the site no longer supports any version of IE older than IE8, so if you are still using IE7 or IE6 then for goodness sake upgrade your web browser ASAP!
A very interesting time at the Forum in Norwich this afternoon. Great to see Gina win an award and I learnt all about Lahars from Melanie Froude.
