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.

A  very powerful (and, I imagine...personal) poem. February is misunderstood isn't it? Even with an early promise to usher back the light ..

"Mythological fabrications and fantasies..."

There's a rollicking feel to this sweeping assessment of the muses. Enjoyed, of course. Paul
