HarryC's picture

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

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.

Masking

You want me to be a dog, so I'll try. I look quite like one, anyway - I have four paws, a furry coat, a set of whiskers. I have a tail that wags -...
