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.

Well, yes.

That's a tough one, Jean. I guess for every treatment there's a consquence and, not always a good one. As ever, brave of you to commit to writing it down. Your resilience is inspirational. Thinking of you. Paul x

I guess that's the rub. Where does Hamas end and Palestine begin? Does the ordinary man in the street share Hamas goals? It's a mess with tragic consequences.

That's another evocative diary entry. I can't imagine committing to something involving such endurance but well done to you for doing just that. Nicely done, Jenny.

Well done on articulating such a gripping tale. I am all for rescuing animals so good on you both for running the gauntlet with those cats. Yes, I can only imagine the emotions if it was people involved. It's a crazy world we live in.

Ah, so nicely done, Rhiannon. I wondered why a favourite place would be behind a settee and then the reveal - a cat! Lovely pic too. Enjoyed. Paul

Has Farage changed his surname since appearing in the Jungle? He'll do anything to avoid the misdeeds of his past.

Amazing facts. I think fruit flies are the one scientists use in experiments. An eye-opener of a poem and adriotly done, of course, Rhiannon. Paul
