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.

Those ".. paintings of young giggling Victorian girls with their dolls" in a dusty, cobwebbed dwelling kinda gives this an eerie feel towards the end. I enjoyed the dream journey as you crossed over. A vivid meditation.

Clunton sounds wonderful, coppice et al. Sessile oak, short showers and rainbows. I was right there with you, Rhiannon. Paul

March hares, nymphs and tall trees - dreamy images of spring. I enjoyed that journey from Freya's snowdrifts until dawn :)

Henry VIII (Alfred Arthur the Great) Tudor (Muggins) with Nigel to be added. Wow. I had forgotten that the Mary Rose was the flagship of the great Henry. Hoping he finds a pen so we can continue with the story!

Another atmospheric trip down memory lane with you, Jenny. Ah..Bristol...my favourite city after Birmingham. I'm down that way for a few days from Friday. Hoping to move to that part of the world soon. Definitely soon. Paul :)
