Martin’s stories for London Lies, Incurable Romantic Seeks Dirty Filthy Whore* and Girl with Palmettes**  were first read at London Liars’ League in May 2008 and August 2008 , as part of the Feast & Famine and Winners & Losers evenings.

Martin describes his stories as

Incurable Romantic Seeks Dirty Filthy Whore

Thirty-ish pseudo-flâneur seeks sex through repeated visits to the Renoir cinema;

Girl with Palmettes

Thirty-ish pseudo-flâneur fails to have an affair with a willing, thirty-ish, artsy girl, through middle-class guilt and repeated inappropriate gallery visits.
