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.

Ah great twist - I thought Dawson was going to escape. Again, great tension built and the plot bubbling with his travelling across worlds like that. The Master sounds a big grim. We'll find out soon enough. On to Chapter 7...

for lichens to attach and grow

Flocks of geese to solve the shortage of workers post Brexit. Well, yes! Your imagination continues to deliver the sauce (and, in turn, turnips by the looks of it). Adroitly done as always, Jane.

There's a sense of jeapody building. Rebellions, crystal ships far away and now snatched children. Your imagination worked wonderful overtime on this story, Jenny. Onwards to chapter 4 tomorrow :)
