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.

Cats and dogs are a big part

Posted on Sun, 21 Mar 2021

Cats and dogs are a big part of my life with my OH working at the local vet. Our collie cross is nearly 15 these days. I dread the day he's no longer around. Loved reading about your animal experiences.
