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.

That's a fascinating read, Turlough.
I guess most people end up with a cocktail of accents etc with social mobility and people moving around. I wanted to learn some Russian via the Zoom meetings I had with my son when he lived in Moscow....
