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.

Does it rain more in Ireland?
We've all chased rainbows at some point. I'm sure Alfred will find his pot of gold one day. We want to read his novels.

That's a wonderful poem as the introduction.
As always, a beautifully crafted travelogue laced with humour. You bring the sites, sights and sounds to life so evocatively.
