Writing

About MeMy first name is Julian. I'm a white male, straight, English and 51 years old. Writing is just an interest to me. However, maybe I have the potential to achieve more? My favourite writers include H. P. Lovecraft, Isaac Asimov, Clark Ashton Smith, Stephen King, , Philip K. Dick, William Hope Hodgson, Jules Verne, Edgar Allan Poe, August Derleth, Tanith Lee, J. R. R. Tolkien, and M. R. James. Amongst others, my favourite non-fiction writers (Christian) include Saint Augustine Of Hippo and Martin Luther. But, what about my own writing? Well, my favourite themes are fantasy, weird fiction, philosophy and politics.
You can also reach me by email. My email address is: [email protected] Some of my poems have been published by United Press Ltd, following some success in a number of their contests. My home is in the pleasant Derbyshire town of Belper. I sometimes visit the Southbank Centre and British Film Institute in London. My favourite TV programmes include "24", "Prison Break", "The X-Files", "NYPD Blue", "Minder" (original series) and "The Prisoner".
