BRACE FOR TURBULENCE

About Me

I like lots of stuff, but now that Facebook has beaten Myspace in the friends network war (sorry, Tom, it has) this Myspace page is now for making me lots of comic book friends. I love comics. that's it.I like to write, but for now my online novel, Goodnight Horses, has disappeared along with the website that was hosting it for me, so for now i don't have a permanent place for it. I'll publish extracts in my blog, but anyone who wishes to read more can email me at [email protected] and i'll send stuff in text format.
