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 reunion,to look forward to, Ewan. Can't say that I have been to the Rock. A place with a complicated history. Enjoyed your reminiscence including Fat Albert's antics. Paul

Another enjoyable diary entry, Jenny. The Summer Solstice is a time of magic and peace. You capture that in your poem. Just lovely. Paul :)
