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 (The Alien Buddha Gets Rejected) and @blackboughpoems (Winter-Christmas Anthology 2023).
I have new stories published in 2023 by @darkwinterlit and @thealienbuddha (Halloween anthology and ABZ55 at ABP) along with appearing in an anthology by @LoftPublishing (Anthology Vol V).

Posted on Fri, 03 Sep 2021
Pie-charts, MI and statistics in general are the root cause explanations of many things. A fine creative, numerical piece of whimsy you have here. [incidentally, I have an ongoing argument with American friends who are adamant "whisky" should be...

Hi Jenny. Personally, I like ambiguity in poetry. Often the best poems are the ones where more is left unsaid and open to the reader's interpretation. There are some wonderful lines in this. Paul :)
