Cov-based fiction writer/playwright/poet (i.e. skint and useless AF). Also chief editor for @HereComesEvery1 magazine & co-host of #FireAndDust poetry open mic.
I'm deffo a writer born into the wrong era, lol. Professional headshots? On-camera interviews? Live in-person performances? Social media presence? What is all this...
What happened to the days of fat alcoholics hiding out in dive bars with pen and paper? I could have shined!😂
Great to see 'The Book of Coventry' on the shelves of our local @Waterstones. Everyone in Cov who's been asking me can they buy it from the shops in town - yeah, you can now! 👍 (Or online: https://t.co/27qinsHdfJ) Cheers, Waterstones.

@tony_malone@commapress Very cool - not only your own story, but that you've gone back for a second read of the stories in the anthology. I'm chuffed for the 11 writers, it's a great mix of voices.
I like dogs, but definitely remember some vicious ones roaming the streets back in the day!
Inspired by a reread of 'The Book of Coventry' (edited by @RaefWrites, published by @commapress), I knocked up my Christmas present to you all, 'Duffy's Dog', a story of fear, loathing and mutts on the mean streets of Stoke Aldermoor in the 1980s ;)

@IanCaseyArts Thanks for writing this. It resonated with me where you said the vanity of being bothered bothered you as much as the balding. I'm only early stage but it's a weird development to deal with and have to act totally unbothered about. 👍

Theres been a poem ruminating within my subconscious for months, yet i feel nothing i create does it justice,
I think a massive part of being an artist is yielding; to the blind belief that it shall come.
And when it comes, you shall know.
