I am 54, a cat lover and long-time unemployed, due to chronic arthritis. I have been writing off-and-on since February 1970 when I wrote my 1st story "The Scream in the Night" a short-short horror/mystery story. I write supernatural horror (often using Dream-Time themes), humour, SF, and poetry (mainly political often about the appalling way the unemployed are treated in Australia). |
Short stories, poetry, novelettes, essays, and (rarely) novels. |
I have recently started experimenting with Diamante poetry, I write traditional verse, haiku, renge, tanka. |
Cats, 1950s and 1960s rock-and-roll. DVDs, especially of British Comedy movies and sitcoms (UK only!) |
Supernatural horror -- but not splatter-junk! |
