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.

Those ".. paintings of young giggling Victorian girls with their dolls" in a dusty, cobwebbed dwelling kinda gives this an eerie feel towards the end. I enjoyed the dream journey as you crossed over. A vivid meditation.
