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.

I agree with Jean. It is very "Alice in Wonderland". Surreal with layers. Good luck with the rest of this and look forward to reading more. Paul

Posted on Sat, 18 Jun 2022

There is speculation that when Charles becomes King there will be an exodus from the Commonwealth led by Australia becoming a Republic. The degree of respect held for Queen Elizabeth II around the world is understated. That's a magnificent list...
