September and mellowing

Showing signs of autumn colour along the river walk in Morpeth now.

September Bonus

Pure Research made it into the BwS Quarterly Review. That's where the editors put their favourite pieces from the last 12 issues and I'm very proud to have a great track record for being there. I was surprised it was this story that made it this time and not one of my poems. There you go...

Jennifer Stakes has a great poem there, Chess. But really, everything there is worth reading - it's the best of the best of Bewilderment :)

Micro Horror needs help

Nathan Rosen is one of the most encouraging editors in the e-zine world. I'm not just saying that because of this wonderful trophy - he really is a very caring man and he's in financial straits. This could mean the closure of the mag. but more than that for himself and his wife.

The problem has been medical bills apparently. It is unconscionable that in a so-called civilised country, a man should face ruin because of illness in the family. That is a real horror story!

In this country we should value our National Health Service above all other things.

The banks' dodgy dealings have not only stolen our pensions and our savings. They even threaten livelihoods and lives.

What price the wealth of the few?

The health of the many.

Not good enough damn it!

I appeal on Nathan's behalf. Go to www.microhorror.com and donate a few dollars if you can.

My Writing Room

This is where I do my work including editing EDP. It looks out into the back garden and through to our little conservatory. Not a bad place to work :)
