Dan has a problem. Or rather, many problems which combine to form one big... how do you call it, a conundrum? Unlike a lot of people though, he already knows what it will take to confront the conundrum and he sets out, on paper, how to do exactly that. In this coming out/coming of age story set in modern UK, I challenged the fundamental building blocks of a writer's craft. Dan's Conundrum is a commentary on what we write, why we write, and why we write the things we write.

Stone Carroll doesn't like Christmas, not one bit.

Morgan and Drake are in a pickle. Their business is doing well but needs some cash to get past this balloon payment. What are they going to do?
