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, anthology Vol.IV by @LoftPublishing and flash fiction at @paragraphplanet.
Poems of mine have been published by @thealienbuddha (The Alien Buddha Gets Rejected) and @blackboughpoems (Winter-Christmas Anthology 2023).
I have new stories published in 2023 by @darkwinterlit and @thealienbuddha (Halloween anthology and ABZ55 at ABP) along with appearing in an anthology by @LoftPublishing (Anthology Vol V).

It was lovely to hear you read live, Rhiannon. Enjoyed reading the written versions just now (the link to your second story is broken).
Wishing you a peaceful, Good Friday :)

That must have been tough
Posted on Fri, 07 Apr 2023
That must have been tough listening to Daphne's ravings. It sounds like she has been through such a lot. 78 week waiting list for neurology?! That's horrendous but probably where the NHS is as a whole. Good on your daughter for being so...

Good to see you so active with these recent rambles, Rhiannon. Another enjoyable walk with you. I like the images of the kites gliding and the sheepdogs at work. Happy Easter to you. Paul

Eesh....sounds like you have been through the mill. I hope the mop up surgery goes well. It always amazes me how well you write these accounts considering what you have gone through. There will be people reading who are going/have gone/will go...

I think Paris is meant to be designed in a way that everything is accessible within a few minutes, regardless of where you live. Interesting concept. Nicely done again [Should that say "villages within cities"?] Paul

Nicely done, Rhiannon. Yes, green spaces are invaluable but you put forward some balance re drawbacks of living out in the countryside. As always, great rhythm and rhyming. Keep well. Paul

I agree with Jenny. If feels like you have fun with this plot whilst keeping the standard high. The dialogue fizzes as ever. Keep 'em coming :)
