In short

  • Absolutely bugger all really, just love life and a laugh, providing someone else is seriously hurt or offended, and not yours truely.) I adore pretention and romantic novels, especially Barbara Cartland, I revel in angst ridden teenage vampire poems and novels...oh and I like to send people in a different direction to where they thought they were going!.

  • My claim to fame?, err still waiting for that episode of my life to begin.Love humour, history and Sport, well Football actually (Soccer),Fencing and Golf. I write for a Sports Mag on-Line, and have a tendancy to look for the obscure. Love Historical novels, thrillers and whodunnits,people watching and the mechanics of life.

                                        A Little about Why I'm Here?

    I think that I am more of an 'ideas person', than I am writer. I often lack both inspiration and the dilligence to ever become one, not forgetting the talent of course. I would have thought that there are many who frequent this site in a simular position.

    BUT I want to change all that, so thats where you guys come in, and its where I can return the favour.

    Will Critique, but I have to be selective, as I want to do it properly and that takes time.I will not offer platitudes,(unless warranted) and expect the same in return; its called constructive critisism and honesty.No poetry though, dont really get it, so it'll be unfair to judge. Can do limericks and rhymes, simple stuff if you want?

    I will always accept any requests for 'friends' but heres the nitty gritty, if I dont hear from you in a month, then it's time to go, as I dont see the point of it otherwise....in simple English unless your  active then your out !,, I'm not here to collect friends like trophies or compete with facebook, So unless your serious about your writing and can offer me something in return, please don't bother wasting your time or mine, no offence intended, but if you are I.D.G.A.F.!

  • All time Fav has to be Perfume,just finished My name is Legion loved it but can understand if some didnt
  • Just finished War and Peace, thought it was a very ,very long Russian 'Count meets Princess,Count loses Princess, Count Gets Princess...story, hope's theres not a sequel?
  • on the bog (Thats the John, over there), I read a book  till my legs go dead,  get up..fall over and hurt my head
  • Like ideas to be original and above all intellegent. Love to read humour with a hard no nonsense approach to real life. I write for a sports magazine if and when I get passionate about something, but find it difficult to write for the sake of it however.

    I think there are some really talented  and  helpful people on here that deserve the opportunity to achieve their goals , and would like to think WEbook can afford them that chance

  • Fiction: Mystery

  • The character I'm currently writing about?
  • Patrick Suskind;Dickens;Frank Tallis;John Grisham,Patrica Cornwall;Agatha Christie;Ian Rankin;Terry Pratchett;Douglas Adams;Phillip Pullman..Blah, Blah
