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.

Well done in bringing life to something of a taboo subject. Written with a great deal of empathy for a subject that rarely gets written about. Enjoyed. Paul

Another engaging tale, well told. And a time theme running all the way through, cleverly done. Your humour makes your writing so very readable. Nicely done, again. Paul :)
