I am a Brummie living in North Somerset who loves to write but gets distracted with other things. I enjoy horror/fantasy and anything that provokes original thought.
My literary heroes are Clive Barker, Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe and HP Lovecraft.
Everyone should read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four .
I have work published by AlienBuddha Press, Loft Books, BlackBough Poems, DarkWinter Literary Magazine and Paragraph Planet.

I loved the sense of time and place as well as the cracking dialogue in this piece.
That's why it's today's Facebook, X/Twitter and BlueSky Pick of the Day.
Congratulations.

Another intoxicating mix of horticulture, cuisine, local tradition and travelogue. It takes a great deal of skill to weave amongst so many different aspects when penning these diary entries. Thoroughly engaging, educational and an alluring read...

Thanks for your support with this, insert. It's genuinely appreciated.
Writing something novel length is something I have always wanted to do. And now I have!
It would have been so difficult to do without the interest and support...

"..the sacred checks and balances which were so necessary to a functioning democracy." Yes to this. Hard to imagine what the situation will be in 4 years time. I can't see Trumpenstein still being in power. I think he's been told he can't run for...

You might be right, Luigi. We're going in circles. Someone needs to take charge. I think the next writer will do just that. Not my genre at all but I can't see why this won't be wound up inside 4 more chapters. There's another 8,000 words...

Sel Ticman is a force of nature that's still blowing around like rampant tumbleweed. Maybe he'll feature in future chapters. I think he was last seen selling copies of his books at a local market in downtown Denver. Funny really...I feel as...
