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.

Breathless stuff.

Poor Simon. That's one insecure individual.

The murky politics of neighbours and frenemies.
Looking forward to reading more.

I do adore your Amandarella tales, Eric. They invariably make me smile. The prose is always lilting with an underlying sense of humour.

Wonderful, Penny.

Very original and unique.
Bravo, sir.
