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 in 2023 by @darkwinterlit along with appearing in anthologies by @thealienbuddha and @LoftPublishing (Both the Halloween anthology and ABZ55 at ABP and Anthology Vol V at Loft).

China is on my bucket list to include The Great Wall. It looks like international travel is starting to reopen again at last. Mars and Jupiter are a bit trickier. I enjoyed that imaginary journey with you, Rhiannon :)
