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.

A big warm welcome to the site Riss Ryker. Enjoyed this very much. Some great lines, in fact too many to mention. Also loved the last three lines in which you sum up the whole thing. Great start.

Posted on Mon, 18 Aug 2014

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.
