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.

China is on my bucket list to include The Great Wall. It looks like international travel is starting to reopen again at last. Mars and Jupiter are a bit trickier. I enjoyed that imaginary journey with you, Rhiannon :)

You have drawn strong characters in this with that undercurrent of whimsy bubbling away. It has a Disney feel to it. This is a good thing.
