Hello!

Nice to meet you all!

My name is Mark.

I'm absolutely barmy about books, writing, Illustrating, movies and music

I've had my nose buried in books and illustrating ever since I was a child, but I first dabbled with creative writing at the age of nineteen. Fantasy, horror, a bit of science fiction and crime.

But in all honesty at this moment in time without advice, tips, pointers, beta readers and mentors I am flying blind doing what I love to do when what I really need to do is raise my game, strengthen and learn craft skills and improve my work to achieve my goals in future.

Please feel free to say 'Hello' and chat about anything. I've never used a creative writing forum before, so I look forward to conversing with you all and learning all that I can.

Thank you
