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.

Nicely done with the story made topical and bang up to date. I like the blend of myth and legend with how the Gods would behave in these current times. Huge well done on completing a novel! Paul

These surreal pieces are becoming a niche for you, Jane. It's the kind of story I wish I could write now and again. Imaginative, humorous and clever. Just so well done. Paul :)

I am a punk fan and have tapped my toes at an ABBA song. I'm doomed. Yes, it would be interesting with Oliver Cromwell in charge. Who is more zealous - The Puritans or The Taliban? Paul
