Care worker, writer, memester, autist, dissenter.

I like people who not only think outside the box, but reshape the box into something else!

I've been writing since I was 10. It's my sanctuary - though the structure often needs maintenance. Over the last twenty or so years, I've won some writing prizes (nothing major) for short fiction, poetry and playwriting. In 2013, I published my first novel, 'In the Day'. Looking at it now, I can see all sorts of things I would change - but I suppose that shows progress. I also have a collection of short fiction, 'Still Life', available for Kindle.

In 2015, at the grand age of 56, I was finally diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Condition (Asperger's). I live alone with my cat, Daisy, and lots of books.

Whitey's Snow

By HarryC on Thu, 25 Oct 2018

Another of my entries in the ABCTales Prose Pentathlon 2013. The remit that week was to write a modern version of a fairy tale. I chose Snow White, choosing a gay gangster as my main protagonist. I was a little worried that it would be seen as homophobic. I showed it to a gay friend, though, and he laughed... so maybe it's okay! My personal jury is still out on it.
