I am a Brummie living in North Somerset 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.

Another chapter flies by. Poor Si! What an awful upbringing. Gregor sounds meaner by the minute. Onward bound to Chapter 9. There's a lovely pace you write with. This must have taken you ages to pull together..

"...but winsomely explain.." You don't see the word "winsomely" used much these days. I like the razor sharp way you have linked your poem to the proverb, Rhiannon. "Carelessly wielding words recklessly.." Yes, a lovely rhythm to the whole thing...

Poor old Dawson stuck in pokey. Here's hoping Cinnamon can break him out. You have finished on a cliff-hanger again with the two riders. I shall find out more in Chapter Eight tomorrow :)

Another chapter in - the picture you draw of stone age travellers is so good. Really liked the sequence of the little girl eventually being found via Tawny the (magic) owl. Onwards to chapter 5...
