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.

"Little fly that flits around
bumps into a web and bound.."
Spider's webs are a marvel of nature, aren't they? Remarkably strong. I enjoyed this, Rhiannon. Very nicely done. Paul
