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.

"...save wind's unseen tongue howling vowels round consonants of stone left millennia.." Lots of wonderfully, poetic lines in this, Di. Enjoyed Ewan's poem and enoyed this one just as much. Paul

I think the trolls are mainly bots. Not sure if it is true but it did make me smile the story yesterday about Erdigan making Plutinpot wait before meeting him.
