Essentially I would like less of a life on-line, not more of a life on-line...
I am a poet. I write neo-formal poetry, but I regard form as a good servant rather than a poor master; I refuse to be constrained by form, and I recognise and use the power of free verse.
I am an author. I write short stories, sometimes erotic, sometimes with a supernatural twist - both of these themes are by accident rather than by design.
I am currently an associate editor of Sonnetto Poesia magazine.
Poems published? Yes, some in magazines and in a couple of anthologies. One was etched into an African drum and put on display at the New Orleans Museum of Art. I have blogged a hell of a lot of it on another site, however, which means that most publishers and competition sponsors won't touch it.
Stories published? Yes, one or two in magazines, and a couple read aloud by professional actors at a literary festival.
The best thing I have ever written? Probably my longest short story, "The Last-but-one Samurai", currently unpublished.
Projects? 1) Finding a publisher for my novel "Lupa", written 2004. 2) Find a publisher for my novel for older children, "The Everywhen Angels", just finished and currently with my proof-reader. 3) Finish my verse-drama "Welshday".
