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.

I have new stories being published in 2023 by @darkwinterlit along with appearing in anthologies by @thealienbuddha and @LoftPublishing (horror anthology at ABP and Anthology Vol V at Loft).

Very nicely done, Rhiannon. You craft your words so carefully. The final line is a source of inspiration "...life-long, look and think and wonder." Enjoyed. Paul

Maybe Putinpot will drop down

Posted on Sat, 09 Jul 2022

Maybe Putinpot will drop down dead from cancer. He's pretty ill allegedly. We have to hope whoever replaces him is more conciliatory.
