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.

Mother Ryan being "very" Irish - "I can hear the accent now. Another tale of weddings and funerals and an intriguing insight into those times. Interesting, as always, Jean. Paul :)

All six parts read. There's a strong chemistry between the characters which shines through in the dialogue. The pacing of the story is both patient and excellent. Enjoyed catching up with this. Paul

We all converted to the Beetles at some point. It's a fine city these days with the dockside area all redeveloped. That sounds strange returning from holiday to a different airport than anticipated. Enjoyed this. Paul
