Paul

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.

The Iron Curtain is definitely going back up again (if it was ever down)

I don't think that the "Special military operation" in Ukraine has gone to plan. There is a suggestion that Putin wants to end things in time for VE Day in Russia on May 9th. I imagine he will want to declare a great victory as part of the...
