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.

".. the slack-skinned starving, sucking on stones.."

Wonderful alliteration and I just can't read a poem of yours anymore without hearing you reading it in my head. Did I ever tell you that you have a voice for radio, Ewan?! :)

What's not to like?! Just lovely, of course, Jenny. Paul :)

A story that undulates under the earth with a stellar cast of worms. I can imagine you reading this at the next ABCtales event, Luigi. Adroitly done, as always. Keep well. Paul

"And if someone can't get any manna, then I don't want any of it, either." Well, yes.

All very nicely done with such imaginative flair. Paul

Yep, you have a great rhythm with your writing and a wonderful imagination. I seem to remember you saying you were going to have a tilt at self-publishing a while ago. Did you ever get around to it? Righteo....off to part 3..

Thanks for reading, David. Yes, I guess 1912 was a precursor to the First World War et al.

Made me think of Jim Carrey's "Bruce Almighty" at times. You are such a natural storyteller that shines through in your prose. Looking forward to the next part..
