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.

Enjoyed that walk with you, Rhiannon. You paint such vivid pictures with your words. As always, felt like I was there. Lovely photos, as well. Spring is in the air :)

A vivid story very much alive in the imagery conjured by your words. I can relate to the disconnect between the seriousness of the siege and the boy's relatively mundane thoughts. I think I have been here in the past. Maybe we all have..

I must admit, I hadn't anticipated spending Valentine's Day looking at a picture of your legs, Jane :) Deftly done and glad that they are the ones you ordered. A wish for a dog is non-negotiable. Enjoyed. Paul

I don't think anyone could accuse you of being lazy, Luigi. A sanguine poem that quietly dances with stoicism. I hope everything is well with you. Paul
