ABOUT

I’ve been on a twisted journey my whole life and it’s time to share the load. If you can overcome the links that go nowhere, or take you in circles and the “buttons” that do nothing and the irregular fonts you will find short stories, reports, blogs and even extracts from a novel called Modern Trials. If you can handle it there are also “movies” featuring high level political interviews and discussions with heavyweight literary figures. I am also lucky enough to have occasional contributions from Funk Moonbeam with tales of his sorry life as the leader of a good old fashioned kick-ass rock n roll band (you can hear tracks from his album Magnolia Glock at www.myspace.com/funkmoonbeam).

As for writing, what can I say. I know of no other process that is more frustrating, funny, absorbing, complex, exhausting and fun. Of course the web is flooded with writers. We’re drowning in blogs and tweets. Writing costs nothing (most people can steal pens and paper from work) so virtually anyone can have a bash. However, most people give up. Time is the enemy. People have jobs that they hate, families to nurture, hobbies (mine include the guitar (Les Paul, Deusenburg, Tanglewood), photography,  running, skiing etc), tweets to twit (oh, how mindless and dreary!) and TV to watch. These things get in the way. That last one, TV, that’s the daddy by the way. That’s the time stealer. It sucks us dry, believe me.

Anyway, to conclude. The greatest thing about writing is that you don’t have to say the right thing, please a boss, earn a promotion, pull a bird or be slick, clever, rich or happy. You can be yourself and that is a great joy. So sit back, chill-out and take some time to travel around this dog of a site. Linger on stories, enjoy the banter and feel free to comment. Let’s chat, get it off your chest; it’ll make you feel better. Post your comments wherever you can find a button that works, I read them all. So, what are you waiting for people?
