About Me

I am a 41 year old writer living in South Wales where I spend my day time in a proper job and my night time living out the lives of other people by typing them into a black box and then sharing them in any way I can.I write short stories, poetry of every flavour and have three unpublished novels sat on my hard drive - some may say unpublishable but I hold out hope.I have had my work published in various places, Wingspan Quarterly, GoldDust magazine, A Flasher's Dozen and online at both www.writersgainstwar.com and www.ravingdove.org. Peace and humanism are two of my favourite themes. My FAVOURITE theme though is death and I have recently finished a project called a "hypertext" novel. I'm putting the finishing touches to it now and it's a collection of 32 stories about death and dying but throughout each story are hyperlinks which will take you into another, hopefully if it works they'll be cyclic and when you've finished them all you'll be back where you started... ish.And that's me....

A MySpace Music Review - The Coloursound Experiment
