Wilkie also regularly attends and reads at the Writers in the Brewery evenings.

Hobbes

Wilkie is writing a series of novels about Inspector Hobbes. They are narrated by Andy Caplet, a failure in life and as a journalist, who comes to realize and accept that Hobbes is not actually human. Together, and with the aid of Hobbes's elderly housekeeper, they strive to fight crime and keep the peace between the odd mix of peoples in the quiet town of Sorenchester.  See the separate Hobbes page.
 

Disastrous Relations

This is a series of nonsense poems about unlikely and disastrous mishaps amongst a selection of relatives. Videos of some of these, and other poems, are now on youtube, see the side bar link to current videos.
 

Jeremy Pratt

Jeremy is the reporter everyone loves to hate; he is rude, arrogant, and inept. There are several short stories documenting various of his investigations. Early versions of two of these, have been loaded into mp3 files. See Jeremy Pratt page.
 

Other Short Stories and more

 
Wilkie has also been on Corinium Radio and appeared at Writers in the Brewery reading his poems and short stories. See Events & Competitions for details of new events and History for details of old events.
 
He is a member of the Catchword Writers Group who meet in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, England. Catchword now produce the Graffiti writing magazine and are running a writing competition.
 
Wilkie has written articles and short-stories for national magazines.
 

Before Writing
