Meanwhile...

Meanwhile...
I love all creatures. I consider them, all of them, to be sentient beings... I write thrillers, fantasy, mysteries, gothic horror, romantic adventure, occult, Noir, westerns and various types of short stories. I also re-tell traditional folk tales and make old fairy tales carefully cracked. I'm often awake very early in the morning. A cuppa, and fifteen minutes later I'm usually writing something. ;)

Ethcing: "Black Eyed Sue & Sweet Poll, Taking Leave Of Their Lovers Who Are Going To Botany Bay"...

Two prostitutes sit weeping on a bank (left); two heavily shackled convicts stand beside them (right). A jailer with a pistol in his belt standing behind the women points sternly to a ship in the background. On a hill in the background a body hangs from a tiny gibbet. For Botany Bay cf. BMSat 6992, &c. 12 May 1794 Etching"Black-eyed Sue and Sweet Poll of Plymouth, taking leave of their lovers who are going to Botany Bay" [From the British Museum]...
