Paul

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.

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

That sounds like quite an escapade, Luigi. Glad all was well in the end. You must have been worried for a while. Enjoyed your true-life tale [Should that read "..knocked me down with a feather.."? ] Best wishes. Paul

Phew - such drama in a shopping expedition. I hope Alfred's foot is OK and his bank account after paying for everything. I do wonder what Henry VIII would make of all this..

Glad the steroids had some effect, Jean. Hoping the blood clots in your lungs are benign. Keep us posted re the rest of the scan results. As always, your strength of character and humour shine through (more dangerous with the walking stick)....
