I am a Brummie living in North Somerset 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.

"..perfect MUGGINS, servant and provider extraordinaire!" Well yes although he has missed a closed bracket in that paragraph which shows how distracted he must be. The resumption of Alfred's roving reports will suggest all is well with the world...

Who summons the stars.."
