I am a Brummie living in Northampton 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.

For what it's worth, I think Chess is also...

Enjoyed this story, Jenny. I admire writers taking on longer tales and posting in instalments. It's brave and exposing. There's lots to like about the characters and the universe you created. Paul :)
