Hi there.

I'm a guy who enjoys creating new things, ranging from short stories to poetry [children's too] and thus writing is an enjoyable pastime for me, beit psycho fiction, sci-fi, supernatural or fantasy, when the inspiration strikes - I write.

Art is my second love, and when the mood strikes me, I'll do a landscape painting on box canvas, using acrylic paints. Very relaxing! I usually give them away to friends and family.

As for my writings, I've had some works published in paperback and hardback down the years; short story and an assortment of poems. I've dabbled with screenwriting in the past, which is quite an enjoyable, yet complex style.

My taste in music is varied too, ranging from modern to classical, and if it sounds good to my ears, I like it. Lady GaGa is a favourite of mine at the present time.

Righto, there you have it, a little bit of me and my favourite things. I'd like to thank those who have read this short bio, and also those who have left comments about my ebooks - much appreciated!

  Superb fantasy tale, with excellent character descriptions that really bring this tale to life. A very good read for those who like fantasy/supernatural stories.

  I've just finished reading this short sci-fi story, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Trying not to give too much away, I found the ending was a superb twist - not what I expected! A well-written story which I recommend to all sci-fi story fans.

  Well, I'm not sure what to say. I don't take offence easily as I can see the funny side of most things, and yes, I did find some hilarious lines within this short story. I'm going to 'stand on the fence' with my rating here, being the cautious person I am, for I do believe this might be the only comment: I've been wrong before, mind! Hope you receive more feedback in due time. BTW, to all who've not read it, be cautious, I give it an x-rated certificate!

  Very charming tale to read to children, and well written. I'm left wondering if the leprechaun got to eat any of the lovely sausages? Perhaps there could be an extended plot as the relationship between Moira and the tiny gent did appear to be growing. Still, the young will enjoy this little tale just as much as I enjoyed reading it online [HTML].
