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.

That might be one of the longest bracketed entries I've ever read.
Always interesting to catch up on Alfred's latest thoughts.

Interesting reading this on the day a court in Manhattan has ruled that Trumpenstein's global tariffs are unlawful. What will the tangerine man do now that he's being held to account by the institutions. Watch this space!
