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.

Poor old Dawson stuck in pokey. Here's hoping Cinnamon can break him out. You have finished on a cliff-hanger again with the two riders. I shall find out more in Chapter Eight tomorrow :)

Ah great twist - I thought Dawson was going to escape. Again, great tension built and the plot bubbling with his travelling across worlds like that. The Master sounds a big grim. We'll find out soon enough. On to Chapter 7...

for lichens to attach and grow

Flocks of geese to solve the shortage of workers post Brexit. Well, yes! Your imagination continues to deliver the sauce (and, in turn, turnips by the looks of it). Adroitly done as always, Jane.

A dreamy poem about a miraculous transformation. Enjoyed, of course :)

Posted on Mon, 30 Jul 2012
Enjoyed chapter 5. What can this threatening mass be? It takes skill to move from one setting to another and you have done it with ease with this chapter. Looking forward to seeing what the fledgling pilots get up to. Chapters 6 and beyond...

Another chapter in - the picture you draw of stone age travellers is so good. Really liked the sequence of the little girl eventually being found via Tawny the (magic) owl. Onwards to chapter 5...

There's a sense of jeapody building. Rebellions, crystal ships far away and now snatched children. Your imagination worked wonderful overtime on this story, Jenny. Onwards to chapter 4 tomorrow :)

Posted on Mon, 15 May 2023
It was good that the Russian Fifth Columnists and spies didn't materialise. I hope Mrs Muggins has it in her heart to forgive her son and grandson. It seems a tad harsh to mitigate their respective inheritances. York (the Viking stronghold) is...
