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.

That's another evocative diary entry. I can't imagine committing to something involving such endurance but well done to you for doing just that. Nicely done, Jenny.

Well done on articulating such a gripping tale. I am all for rescuing animals so good on you both for running the gauntlet with those cats. Yes, I can only imagine the emotions if it was people involved. It's a crazy world we live in.

A thoughtful and compelling tribute. I like the idea of conversing with people after they are gone. In literary terms anyway. I know little about Patrick Kavanagh so thank you for enlightening me.

Ferocious reporting from Alfred. I think a tentative ceasefire and hostage deal appears to have been made. Maybe the worm is turning. That's an interesting story from Roman times (made me think of the suicide squad at the end of "Life of Brian"...

It's a horrible situation but I read that negotiations re a ceasefire are happening between Hamas and Isreal. Common sense has to prevail soon. Surely?
