The Purple Gladioli Universe

The common theme of these stories is their setting – a fictitious Australian country town in the 1970s. They encompass everything from a card game to love long gone, a free-spirited hippy to a young mother lost in the countryside. They don’t conveniently fit into any one genre, but you may notice the occasional influence of The X Files and Twilight Zone.

I may one day release them as an anthology, but meanwhile feel free to enjoy them here.
