D. C. Hobson
D. C. Hobson is a fiction writer whose work is shaped by cities, memory, and the quiet moments that sit between chance encounters and lasting change. His short story collection Paris Moments explores Paris not as a backdrop but as a living presence—one that observes, interferes, and occasionally conspires in the lives of those passing through it.
Blending humour, reflection, and emotional precision, his stories follow travellers, locals, lovers, and dreamers as they navigate cafés, staircases, metro platforms, and late-night conversations. Hobson’s writing is influenced by film, literature, and lived experience, with a particular affection for places where longing and reality gently collide.
He divides his time between writing projects and travel, always returning to the idea that cities leave marks on us long after we leave them.

Moving between one present moment and the life that once filled it, the story explores how love lingers in ordinary spaces, and how endings are often felt long before they are confirmed. It is a meditation on intimacy,...
In a city shaped by books and memory, a small and seemingly ordinary discovery unsettles something Alice thought she understood about herself. What should feel familiar instead lingers — quietly insistent, difficult to dismiss, and impossible to name.
As the day unfolds, the city remains unchanged, yet Alice’s sense of certainty begins to loosen. The line between past and present blurs, and the objects she trusts most take on an unexpected weight, as if carrying traces of a life only half...
Under the shadow of Angkor Wat, a man travelling alone drifts through the heat and dust of Siem Reap, settling into the unhurried rhythm of long lunches and late afternoons. In a place shaped by passing travellers and temporary lives, a brief connection begins to take form — unannounced, unplanned, and quietly charged.
As the day slips toward evening, the story lingers on anticipation, restraint, and the delicate balance between what is felt and what is acted upon. Set against the faded...
