Found the site in November 2011. Love the friendly and easy format. Write stories and the occasional poem. Have published three books, all available from Amazon. The East End Butcher Boy, Eastendbutchers Short Story Collection and The Men In The Shadows. 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.

For some strange reason i really liked this. Not because it isnt good but because its not usually my kind of thing. But the writing is good and honest and somewhere struck a chord.
Nice piece.

Sorry Bee came late to this. Could be read in two ways, taking the piss out of yourself or seriously! I think there is a bit of both in this and THAT'S why it's so good.
This stanza was brilliant, it has such rhythm.
Poetically...

Really like this Tina, like Scratch, I was expecting a poem, but this piece of Prose is brilliant. Love the narrative running through it. Thought at first she was going to have a go at him, then you suprise us with his story. A feeling of love...

I have come late to this Luke, but became hooked with it after just a few lines on part one. Have now read all four this morning. You have created a new world in this story, a weird, crazy, yet believable world, not an easy thing to do. Great...

A massive warm welcome to the site Stuart. Only read two of your pieces so far and both were good. But this...this is stunning. You have a talent for building a story with creative and superb narrative. This is one of the best things I've read on...

Posted on Wed, 09 Apr 2014
I really liked this. I liked the way it slowly built up. From the first line about hitting his girlfriend to shagging all the drunk slags in Ibiza, it told a great story about Daniel and the kind of man he was. And all this built around a one...

I love this CM. Wish I'd wrote it! It has just the right amount of humour and yet there is a message in their somewhere...
Read it twice now. Wherever Balloch is sounds like a million miles away so seven hours round trip is pretty fast....
