I have been a member of ABCtales since 2003.
I have  published five collections of poems: ‘Idle Thoughts’; ‘Reflections’; 'Cherry Ripe''; 'Poetry on Tap' and 'Cherry on Top' plus 'Guns and Dolls' – a short book containing three short stories – and three novelettes 'Jessica World', 'An Enquiring Mind' and 'A Life's Journey'
Digital versions of these can be found at Smashwords. and other distributors like Kobo and Barnes and Noble.

I was a member of Writers Group and indie publishers I*D Books based in Shotton, Flintshire until they ceased activity.
My work has been featured in various magazines and anthologies.

A regular contributor to ABCtales.com I also contributed to the websites Poetry24 and UKAuthors.co.uk. I was ‘Writer of the Month’ on the latter in December 2005.

Brava Maddalena. It needed

Posted on Wed, 22 Sep 2021

Brava Maddalena. It needed saying and your message is loud and clear. Will it be heeded? This old cynic is doubtful but keeps his fingers crossed. On the subject of dragonflies, my wife came in from the garden all excited because she had spotted...
