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.

"Far hills, sentinels, peer over from beyond.
Up on the ridge Arthur’s Stone, collapsed burial chamber..." Sounds like my kinda place. Another enjoyable ramble with you, Rhiannon. Paul :)

I know. You hate the Tories as much as you hate the blue half of Glasgow. And that's a lot!

That sounds like quite a rollercoaster of a journey. I was in Birmingham on Sunday and some of the local roads were flooded. It can be quite intimidating. Glad you got your jabs. I had my flu injection a few days ago and my Covid booster today....

The mini-budget was madness. Tax cuts are fine but NOT unfunded tax cuts! Should be an interesting week with the Sunak v Johnson Showdown. As Graham Norton said... "Sunak for the country's sake; Johnson for f**k's sake!"
