I had blast tonight reading my short story The Yellow Raincoat to a live audience at Twisted Fiction at the iconic Shakespeare Hotel. Huge thanks to JS Breukelaar for curating the evening. There was some seriously high-calibre spoken word storytelling. I’m already looking forward to the next one!

Thanks so much to @jsbreukelaar.bsky.social (for being the brain child behind this reading series) @brentmcgregor.bsky.social, Kyla Lee Ward and Jeff Clulow for being amazing fellow readers, and to the crowds (CROWDS!! WOW!) that showed up to hear us read our weird little stories. A great night.
