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.

"Zadok the Priest’ by Handel

Posted on Fri, 12 May 2023

"Zadok the Priest’ by Handel from George II’s Coronation in 1727". There's something ornately regal about some music isn't there? Yes, it was quite an occasion and fitting that the Muggins's were watching. Henry VIII would have been impressed (...

"...dark and bright, shadow and light.."

You paint a brooding backdrop in so few words, Rhiannon. Very apt for this overcast day. Beautiful pics, as well. Nicely done, of course. Paul

Posted on Fri, 12 May 2023

Eesh Jean, the bed shaking sounds intimidating. Well done you for going through two sessions like that. The whole thing sounds overwhelming. So it sounds like a pause for now so I hope you find rest and peace for a while. I'm sure it will all...
