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.

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.

Not that I have listened to much Hawkwind but I do remember them being renowned for progrock/space rock/psychedelic rock. You have captured the essence of their music and much of its meaning here, Jenny. Hoping you are well. Paul x
