D G Moody's picture
Douglas Moody

I’m now retired and living with my wife and Springer Spaniel in a village outside Cambridge U.K. I have dual U.K. and Australian citizenship, having lived in the latter and also travelled in Asia, in-between living in London for two years. I came back to the U.K. in 1993 as a Buddhist monk and was later involved in interfaith between Buddhist and Christian monasticism, which led to my returning to lay life. I now identify as a Christian – albeit with Buddhist influences!

My interests lie in writing – prose and poetry, informed by my experience of life plus religion, history, and current affairs. I also enjoy cooking, walking (with wife and dog), and the joys of friendship. I have previously posted on UKAuthors. My verse tends toward rhyming, but as a beginner I’m always willing to improve my craft.

Auschwitz from the Air

In 1944 an allied reconnaissance flight took a series of photographs over Auschwitz, while also photographing the nearby factory complex at Monowitz. It was only years later that it was discovered that these pictures were of the extermination camp, during the final frenzy of the murder of 437,000 Hungarian Jewish men, women, and children.

Ghost Story

This is what I term 'faction'; in as much as all but the beginning and ending maybe did happen to me, as the story describes; but without the dinner party and the resolution at the end. So, I'll leave it the reader to make of it what they may choose - an entertainment, or maybe a true experience of the supernatural - who knows?

Strange Advent

I first posted this work on UKAuthors a year ago, in reponse to the deowning of a young child in the British Channel. Sadly, nothing has changed since then. (Image is courtesy of Roland My from Pixabay)
