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.

Purpled Trojan princes driving pimped BMWs. I really should read up on the historical inference in this poem. Certainly entertaining and, I imagine, cleverly done. Great stuff!

Up to date again. The dialogue and chemistry across your characters is very strong. The differentiation is credible and is the essence of this series. Keep going. It's great stuff.
