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.

I love the imagery, as ever.
Of course...I'm left wondering if it's...

Free markets economics v state controlled. Neither works in their purest form. The solution lies in an appropriate mix. In the meantime, we all just try and do the best we can to get through it.
