Short Fuse
Seems longer than a week ago that I read 'The Zoo Keeper' at The Komedia in Brighton. But there you are, it was on Sunday 5th April. Brilliant venue. Appreciative audience which is succour for any writer. It took 25 minutes to read and I enjoyed every minute of it.

book reviews
The poetry of Indigo Dreams are full of a landscape that covers all the emotions of loss, love and times long past. Poems to read when in the dreaming mood.
Also: Portrait of a Young Man as an Arsonist.
Half way through. Really enjoying it. Brilliantly written with well crafted characters. A critique that I'm sure Imogen would approve of.
