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.

I read an interesting article about Putinpot in the Sunday Times last weekend. It explains a lot about him. Stalin was responsible for millions of deaths, both military and civilian. It's interesting how he was air-brushed from history in Russia...
