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.

Yes, beautiful photos and a wonderful adaptation of a beloved hymn, Rhiannon. I could hear the tune in my head as I read along. The first four lines are gorgeous, in particular. Very nicely done. Paul

Posted on Sun, 27 Aug 2023
I don't think Alfred had much option but to leave. Clearly no complaint resolution system as such so frustrated customers would just reappear on the line ever more angry making the call centre operator's job impossible. Onwards to better things,...

A heart warming story for sure and highlights a genuine issue in society of loneliness. There are many people just looking for someone to talk to but it's something that is stigmatised to a large extent. Good on you for engaging with her. Ah......

That Michael Douglas movie is "Falling Down". Perhaps just as well that Alfred didn't go off the rails quite like what happens in the movie! Good to see Alfred doing the right thing for him and still thinking of others (giving lifts) even when he...
