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.

Cheers, T. I wouldn't want to spoil this for anyone reading all the way through to the end...

Sel Ticman is a force of nature that's still blowing around like rampant tumbleweed. Maybe he'll feature in future chapters. I think he was last seen selling copies of his books at a local market in downtown Denver. Funny really...I feel as...
