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).
