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.

This reads in a whimsical way

Posted on Mon, 20 Sep 2021

This reads in a whimsical way but interwoven with an element of drama/trauma that, I imagine, drives the whimsy. Apologies if I have misunderstood. Anyway...will read the next part...

Posted on Mon, 01 Nov 2021

Enjoyed reading this. You can't help concluding that we have got it all wrong in the UK with the frantic nature of life. I wish there was a culture of taking more time and enjoying being with friends and family on occasions like the one in your...
