Introductions
Hello everyone. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you enjoy the stories and poetry on the site. Most are new after just having had a seven year makeover.
As for me, what can I say? I live to write and write to live. The best of both worlds. I write far too much and hoard most of what I do, hence here. My website is a little place to highlight, and hopefully have people enjoy, the ones that got away.
My work has appeared in DailyScienceFiction, Bunbury Magazine and anthologies by Third Flatiron Publishing and Leap Books to name but a few. This is always a privilege. I am the author of The Eternals Series with so much more in the making.
When not writing, I love reading, running, all sport, and walking through beautiful scenery. If I lived in view of a mountain with a stream running through the bottom of my garden, I’d never resurface. I have the world’s worse memory and have caffeine-laced blood.
I have two sayings: 1. I’d rather be a happy pauper than a wealthy zombie. 2. Never give up on your dreams, and never let anyone tell you you’re not good enough. You can be.
Thanks for reading this and I hope you enjoy the poetry and prose on the site.
PS: You’re supposed to write these in third person, and professionally I would, but when dealing with friends that’s far too impersonal.
Yours Sincerely
Richard.
Richard M. Ankers
