Barry the Rogue Baguettiere and other strange tales from the city of Dondolon

Barry the Rogue Baguettiere is a story about a bacon thief. It is a comedy of frivolity. It is whim. It is for anybody who tires of novels taking themselves too seriously. It is also two stories… sort of. One story is the novel and the other was told on instagram (@huntingforbarry) in the weeks leading up to the novel’s release. Both stories can be read together or separately, it’s up to you. To purchase the book, click here.

Short stories

The Blind Ballroom Dancer

The Blind Ballroom Dancer follows the progress of David as he learns to dance under the tutelage of his friend, Larla. Through flashbacks, the reader learns about David’s life growing up and his navigation through the world as a blind man. As a story it seeks to dispel the trope of blindness/ disability as something to overcome and instead fits it into the story as simply another aspect of David’s daily life.
