Found the site in November 2011. Love the friendly and easy format. Write stories and the occasional poem. Have published four books, all available from Amazon. The East End Butcher Boy, Eastendbutchers Short Story Collection, The Men In The Shadows and Who Is Jack Winter.  Always amazed at the diversity of the site and the quality of the writing. Try to write as much as I can and like to try different styles. Hope you like my stories.

Posted on Thu, 17 Nov 2016

It needs a bit of editing, but I loved the story line. You've captured something that a lot of people are experiencing. There are some bits that need explaining in a short like this ( unless it's going to be much longer). Why did he stop...
