I am a Brummie living in North Somerset 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.

Read both parts.
One of your more bitter sweet entries but, as always, thoroughly engaging and genuinely interesting.
So sorry for your feline loss and hoping you recover from your own malady. The former is always very tough to deal...

"..Artificial Intelligence uprising.."
Sensory overload and angst.
That's a powerful poem, Jenny.

Interesting reading this on the day a court in Manhattan has ruled that Trumpenstein's global tariffs are unlawful. What will the tangerine man do now that he's being held to account by the institutions. Watch this space!
