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.

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..

I guess you don't choose who you end up in a ward with. It must be hard not being able to sleep at night and having to listen to other people rambling. Covid as well...slings and arrows, Jean. Your accounts are as absorbing as ever and written so...

It was lovely to hear you read live, Rhiannon. Enjoyed reading the written versions just now (the link to your second story is broken).
Wishing you a peaceful, Good Friday :)
