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 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.
