THE NORTH OF ENGLAND

I'm a writer of fiction and non-fiction (but mostly fiction) living in the North of England. I really like Dark Fiction but will write and read anything that grabs me at the time, from quirky short stories to children's tales.

Interests: Hill walking with my long-suffering wife and shorter-suffering daughter, listening to the Blues and sixties psychedelia, Reading, Reading, Reading, astronomy, real ale.
