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.

It's still a relevant subject to debate in public. I agree that this could be developed into something bigger/longer. The groundwork is all there. I enjoyed the real life scenarios in a curious way. I think we've all been affected by drug taking...
