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.

There's almost a breathless feel to the pace you write with, CM. I imagine your characters are based on people in real life? Your style is unique and distinctive to you. You could definitely work this is into something bigger. Enjoyed, as always...

Wow - "little Switzerland". That statement itself conjurs images of rolling hills and vales. Visual and joyous. Paul :)
