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.

Enjoyed chapter 5. What can this threatening mass be? It takes skill to move from one setting to another and you have done it with ease with this chapter. Looking forward to seeing what the fledgling pilots get up to. Chapters 6 and beyond...
