I am a Brummie living in Northampton. I love to write but get 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.
I think that everyone should read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four .
I have short stories published in a horror anthology by @thealienbuddha and anthology Vol.IV by @LoftPublishing.
