I am a Brummie living in Northampton. I love to write but get 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.

I think that everyone should read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four .

I have short stories published in a horror anthology by @thealienbuddha, anthology Vol.IV by @LoftPublishing and flash fiction at @paragraphplanet.

Poems of mine have been published by @thealienbuddha.

I have new stories being published in 2023 by @darkwinterlit along with appearing in anthologies by @thealienbuddha and @LoftPublishing (Both the Halloween anthology and ABZ55 at ABP and Anthology Vol V at Loft).

Interesting to note the rows between the English and Irish girls and how they were resolved. Are you planning to consolidate all of this into a book, Jean? Looking forward to reading more. Paul [Title needs an edit]

A sweeping journey into a New Year with all of the emotion then relative normality as the seasons hold sway. Beautifully done. Happy New Year to you, Jenny. Paul :)

I enjoyed this chapter. Well described and ultimately surreal with the impromptu rock concert. Keep going! Paul :)

Posted on Thu, 30 Dec 2021

Cameras on mobile phones are so good these days. I must admit to being a mobile phone neanderthal for many years, relying on a clam shell Nokia before finally making it to the 21st century with an android jobbie. Enjoyed the read, as always, and...

"I hold the promise of a stem and the grave speaks". Such poetic beauty "where mosslight and lichen glow."

Wonderful, of course :)

Yes an important message and you have to hope that the wheels are in motion to reverse the trend of global warming. There is certainly a bigger awareness of what's going on. I enjoyed reading this as I have all the previous pieces I have read...
