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 guess the rules applied by various governments have been increasingly arbitrary over the last couple of years. I just love bees and can forgive them anything. A shaggy dog story told with your customary applomb and humour. Always a good read....

So many rock references to ladies of times gone by. I imagine Lady Muggins would not take any prisoners at the suggestioh of Alfred even thinking about straying. It doesn't bear thinking about...

An entertaining, disturbing story. [Should that say "Anyone else but Heather..." in paragraph 9?]. Very nicely done, Luigi. Paul
