Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on July 15, 2011

Actually, iDad has been published a few times in Bare Essentials Magazine now, but I missed the last couple of issues due to personal reasons. When I asked the editor, Inga Yandell, if her readers missed me she said: “Men around the world were left to their own devices with the absence of iDad the [...]

iDad’s Guide to Fitness

Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on May 6, 2011

Are We Jogging? Or so said the eccentric mystic from the movie ‘Jewel of the Nile’ as he, Joan Wilder and Jack T Colton fled across the desert, pursued by Omar the charming, yet ruthless dictator. I often wonder the same thing in the twilighty minutes before sunrise as I dodge past garbage trucks, lonely [...]

iDad and the Great Migration

Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on February 23, 2011

Late last year the National Geographic Channel ran a series of fantastic shows on the Great Migrations of the animal world. Monarch butterflies, nomadic elephants and herds of bleating zebras graced our screen and entertained the children. One of my personal favourites was the red crab from Christmas Island.

Ladies and gentlemen, for your edification and entertainment, I present iDad Number 5. [...]

Press play below for a little theme music. Christmas has always been a magical time of the year in our family ever since iDad was a baby himself. As soon as God Sakes learned to talk Bynel and Mynel became Gam-pa and Gam-mar, which made my mother very happy, and for as far back as [...]

Strawberry Fields Forever

Posted by Matt Green in Commentary, Latest Posts, Short Stories on December 10, 2010

I was lucky enough to grow up as a child of the seventies. I say lucky because I was too young to worry about Vietnam. I was too young to experience that horrendous ‘come down’ from the drugged up love fest of the previous decade. And I had absolutely no idea who Charles Manson was. [...]

Pine Gap Teaser 04 – In The Wine, Is Truth!

Posted by Matt Green in Latest Posts, Pine Gap, Short Stories on November 26, 2010

A lot of people have asked me whether anything nice happens to the characters in my book. I suppose with all the giant spiders, Sand Sharks and rotting corpses, you’d be right to assume that this is a horror novel: but its not.
