Differences to writing

I'm not sure what the distinctions are between being an author or a writer?
I am many things before I am an author and would consider myself more of a writer / story teller.
My writing, I enjoy but I do not take it seriously. To me, the purpose of writing is to tell a story, to prompt the imagination and create a conversation.
What I hope is that these goals are achieved through the books available without them having to be scrutinised on literary standards.
My impression is that they tick some boxes for some people, not all.
Some is good for me.

King of Horror

After publishing Phantasms in the Infirmary, as it is horror, one could boast at aspiring to be in the same conversations about authors such as Edgar Alan Poe or Steven King.

One day maybe, you never know?

They are my favourite horror writers. Poe, was the king of horror.

Steven King is a modern Poe and much more contemporary. 

Some of his work is exemplary and the stuff of myths....

Books like: IT, CARRIE, SALEMS LOT, DREAM CATCHER, SKELETON CREW and of course THE SHINING. 


Even the movie adaptations are SCARY!! IT for example still freaks me out.. This is one of the freaky scenes...

Scary Twins!!!
.

What’s your favourite King or Poe story, poem, or essay? What do you make of the authors?

In the meantime, read Phantasms in the Infirmary, enjoy it, share your experience and PLEASE  write a review

Authors meet - Hollywood in Harlow

Last night I saw one of my comedy idols,  Omid Djalili in Harlow.
Great gig and very funny.
Met after and bought his autobiography that was autographed by him. He recognised me from Twitter as he follows me on my Twitter account @Author_man_ram
Nice fellow. He said to my wife,  this man is a legend...  And autographed his autobiography with the inscription as bellow.
My wife's reply was 'I know that's why I married him'

Great evening.
