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 later in 2023 re anthologies by @thealienbuddha and @LoftPublishing (horror anthology at ABP and Anthology Vol V at Loft).

An intense, urban tale so well written, of course. Great title as well! [I remember that scene from "Scum" - seminal]

Purpled Trojan princes driving pimped BMWs. I really should read up on the historical inference in this poem. Certainly entertaining and, I imagine, cleverly done. Great stuff!

Up to date again. The dialogue and chemistry across your characters is very strong. The differentiation is credible and is the essence of this series. Keep going. It's great stuff.
