I'm a 73-year-old retired factory husband, father of two, grandfather of one. I am an amateur Sci-Fi Fantasy writer and write little poetry too, none of it published, I don't count Publish America, which 'published' my current project, Banished To Earth, in 2004. My only formal education is a creative writing class I had way back in 1970, so I'm kind of out of my depth on this site, but I'm trying to keep up. Love sharing my stuff. Thanks for the opportunity to do so. Ray

Wonderfully written

Terrifying yet majestic prose, transportative.
Such a horror so easily avoided by the slightest touch of human kindness.
Great read Ray

A dream...
Posted on Wed, 23 Jul 2025
It's always a dream. Something dark lurking about the edges of a child's mind, soft borders there? Sadly so. Another great read, subtle with an uneasy undercurrent of malice. Sounds like the witch has selected her next victim.

much to discuss
Posted on Fri, 17 Apr 2026
An odd discovery, a quaint harmless artefact, or a Pandora's box of darkness and peril? Read on to find out, but then we've already met the witch, so harmless artefact is out the window. But what will fly in that open window? Can't wait to find...

Thank you, for following. I understand you are seriously ill, if my little stories offer you some brief bit of comfort or ecape, that's good, but please don't feel obligated to read my stuff if you're not up for it.
You are in my prayers...
