from a Dog was featured in the September 2014 issue of Chase The Moon [paperback purchase] and

will be another exclusive with the UK
Now, with Short Stories That All Definitely Happened a
matter of months away, Literally Stories has published one of the earliest
stories to make an appearance on this site; The
Greatest Cock That Ever Lived.

“Original, hilarious and very clever.”
“Not for the faint hearted […] a well constructed, vivde piece of writing.”
“Powerful and thought provoking.”
“A whiff of Bukowski’s attitude and to the point style. Snappy and earthy.”
“A witty, self deprecating humour […] the final sentence did make me grin and wince at the same time.”
“Well written and flowed humorously […] masterful design.”
“A rare voice.”
