About
I'm a father of two beautiful (grown up) daughters and still remain married after 22 years. We both have to work to keep us fed, clothed and in shelter - both daughters are in higher education and in the UK this means no government support!
I retired!
Interests
Photography, digital art (trying to create it using Corel Painter and Photoshop Elements - and Photoshop CS5 recently) and of course reading (and attempting to write!).
Favorite Books
So many! 'To Kill a Mockingbird' as an all time favourite, 'The Lord Of The Rings', the first two trilogies of Stephen Donaldson, 'Shardick' (Richard Adams), 'The Time Machine', 'The Lost World'....
Favorite Authors
I dont really have favourite authors as I tend to like different works and not all of the works of a particular author.
Favorite Movies
'Always', 'The Thing', 'Forbidden Planet', 'The Big Country', 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence', many thrillers like, for example, 'Along Came A Spider' and 'The Bone Collector'... it's a big list - but generally I like Murder mysteries, a good Ghost story, horror thats doesn't include visual gore (inferred gore is fine thanks!) and an occasional 'chick flick' like 'Love Actually' - and I enjoy a sad story that brings tears to your eyes (no need for a happy ending, as life isn't like that is it!).
Favorite Music
It really depends so much on mood, doesn't it? Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Coldplay, My Chemical Romance...see what I mean?!

Has Anybody seen Him today?
Has anybody seen God?God, are you there God? Things aren’t going well, I’m having a bad spell. The car is getting old, truth be told, it’s as old as you. It was slow to start this morning, then stalled without a warning, It has a light, that should have said, but it was dead....
