Gabriel was my first attempt at writng. I have no previous experience - unless you count a grade C at English Language o-level, back in the days when computers read information from cards with holes in them and dinosaurs roamed the plaines.

I've really only started writing as I have recently been made redundant and have a bit of time on my hands.

To be honest  I don't read a lot of crime fiction (Really? Shock, horror!!)  but the first story just grew in my head on my way to work, and I chanced upon this opportunity to inflict it on anyone that happens to stumble upon it. 

I'll continue to post things as and when they migrate from my head to microsoft word. I'm favouring humour at the moment.

I have no aspirations to be 'discovered' but I'm happy to think that someone may read and enjoy something that I've written - or typed very slowly, truth be told.

If that someone is you then great. I'm glad you liked it. You may want to consider therapy.

I hope that the gramatical inconsistances don't spoil any enjoyment that you may derive from my scribblings. I never consider them important when reading other peoples work.

I did, after all, only get a grade C (probably due in no small part to that attitude) and as Cyril Conolly said:

"Better to write for yourself and have no public than to write for the public and have no self."
