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.

Well said, Rhiannon. Not everything in life is a disappointment. There are choices that we make that we actually cherish.

Hi Paul, you have written a fascinating story containing food for thought. I haven't seen the film but I suspect that like many other biopics, it may have been adapted either by adding fictional facts for effect or omitting information regarded...

Hi Dougie, you are right

Hi Dougie, you are right about the typo. My daughter, who is as eagle-eyed as you, also pointed it out. I shall redress the situation immediately.

Informative and funny, Turlough. On 1 of November, my computer tells me you didn't win any Sugar Puffs as the word count was 105, the 5 extra words represented by that Bulgarian sentence.
