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.

A couple of lovely pen pictures, Rhiannon. You say so much in so few words. "Warm and friendly.." and "Hard- working MP.."  stand out. I imagine those are special pics too.  Nicely done, of course. Paul

A Satnav with the voice of Jacob Rees-Mogg's butler. Eesh. Preston v Sunderland and the Simpsons in Serbian. Another thoroughly enjoyable travelogue with a suitably mysterious ending. I mean, what *was* that on the pillow?!
