The more eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that the forthcoming link for my piece ‘Unfinished‘ no longer features on the Publications page.

This is due to the sad closure of the Indiana-based magazine, Strange, Weird & Wonderful, and is yet another reminder of how hard the Publishing industry is faring in the continuing recession. I wish DLR and his team every success in their future endeavours and thanks for taking the time to consider my work.

Hopefully the story will get picked up elsewhere in the coming months.

Have added a couple of links to the websites of friends who are also authors. They’re both great and I highly recommend their work if you’re looking for more stories to read.

It’s been a difficult few months of late and having not really written anything much for as long as I can remember, I find myself with pen in hand again – searching for solace more than anything else on the blank page in front of me.

The new piece in the Downloads section isn’t much, but it’s a start and I guess that will have to do, for now.

I’ve added a couple of new pieces to the Download section today. If you’re curious, feel free to check out the updated page.

Hi there. You’ve found your way to the homepage of Carl Barker.
