| Danvers, Massachusetts |
| A Brit who grew up in Africa before moving back home and then, eventually, to the States. I have done a variety of jobs in my time (and I've had plenty of that!) but, until now, never been able to devote myself to writing full time. WdC is helping me to broaden my abilities and provides welcome feedback on what I write. |
| Mainly short stories and essays about memories. Also poetry. In fact, mainly poetry these days. |
| I suppose I have an informal, conversational style but I use a lot of long words because that's how I speak. |
| Writing, editing, F1, Christianity, life, writing, history, geography and being contrary. Did I mention writing? |
| Currently the most important is the WdC Power Reviewers. Otherwise I can't remember which I belong to. There aren't many as I'm not really a joiner. |
| Fantasy, SciFi, Action/Adventure, Suspense, Mystery, Psychological Horror. |
| Anything by the authors listed below |
| JD Salinger, CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien. Okay, I'll admit to liking Grisham as well - although I detest him at the same time for being so successful. In my humble opinion, the greatest writer of the 20th Century was Gunter Grass. |
| My wife, Robert Frost, TS Eliot, ee cummings, Dylan Thomas, Edward Thomas, WB Yeats. |
| "Don't be silly - they couldn't hit an elephant at this dist..." General John Sedgwick, 1813 - 1864 |
| Beatles and Floyd, I guess. I recently discovered Leigh Nash on YouTube and she's my latest rave. Oh, and my secret addiction is anything by They Might Be Giants. And, of course, the greatest guitarist of them all, Mark Knopfler. |
| Zorba the Greek. Lawrence of Arabia for the landscapes. Pulp Fiction for its construction. Tarantino is a weird creep, however. 2001 A Space Odyssey. Robot and Frank. |
| Detectorists, Corner Gas, The Tick, Sneaky Pete, Peaky Blinders, Slings & Arrows, Rubicon. |
