New Free short story!

Over at my Subscribestar page, I have a gothic little piece I wrote in the early 00s (as well!), which came to me on a stormy autumn afternoon, when I saw a raven on a lamp-post while driving to Sainsbury's.

Enjoy!

Up at my Subscribestar Page, I have a poem I wrote sometime in the early 00's, when a Certain Friend first got me to start writing it. It came while I was driving herself to work in the morning.

The Madness of crowds

The current insanity gripping the western world is deftly addressed by We Are Change:

Is it just me, or has the World Officially Gone STARK RAVING NUTS?! After stewing for a few days, I finally took my friend Sarah's advice, and took to poetry. Up at my Subscribestar page, I have my first proper attempt at a sonnet!
