I am beyond excited. Beside myself, really.

I’ve always loved Christmas. I love short stories. To write a short story to be aired on Christmas Day on BBC Radio 4 is such an honour. I can’t imagine anything in my career matching the buzz of being part of the Christmas Day schedule. That I can write a story about a gay man to go out on Christmas Day feels like such a moment too.

Thanks to producer Michael Shannon for commissioning me and Bill Maul on sound.
