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.

Hello Rhiannon, you are absolutely right; even if we got rid of all weapons of mass destruction, people would still fight, even though combats could be contained.
Why can't we find a more sensible solution?  Why can't conflicts be settled...

A very expressive poem that emphasises your love of nature and your poetic talent that has made gigantic steps since an unduly hesitant beginning. Your writing is always worthy of appreciation.

I hope you haven't been affected by the storm. Here we had a lot of rain and moderate wind but nothing drastic. Let's hope for better conditions.
