• Night in an Igloo

  I often notice that spending a night in an igloo is on quite a few people’s bucket lists…and I think it’s clear why this may be; after all it’s out of the ordinary, a one off experience, and at the very least there’s potential for fun (if not frostbite and/or hypothermia.)  As children we see drawings,…

• “Delusions of Grandeur” *(Excerpt II)*

  This is a short passage from my work in progress, Nanowrimo novel. In the excerpt Eric is struggling to sleep, and finds himself suddenly fascinated with the world around him, both real…and imaginary… The curtains flutter and clap against the window sill, making me aware of the trespassing evening wind. It brushes against my face, gently caressing…
