I've been writing since childhood, when an article called Youthful Muse appeared in the Times Educational Supplement about my poems (about 1960 - wish I could find the article though I still have the book of Walter de la Msre poems the author Prof Tillotson gave me!)love narrative rhyming poetry and my Puddle Pixies. Time now to see if anyone else might enjoy my work!

Right now, I have 63 stories in 10 collections on the site. My stories have been read 6560 times and 6 of my stories have been cherry picked
