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.

The death of Atsu has made it very real over here if it wasn't already. A genuine tragedy of unimaginable magnitude. Not sure it's such a surprise that building standards are an issue as they seem to be elsewhere. Let's hope future planning in...

Thanks for reading, David. Interesting images from Putin's speech at a football stadium yesterday. Massive crowd but pictures of many leaving before it was his turn on stage. Public opinion carefully managed in places like Russia. I guess we'll...

Enjoyed that walk with you, Rhiannon. You paint such vivid pictures with your words. As always, felt like I was there. Lovely photos, as well. Spring is in the air :)
