I'm Mark and I live with my partner Chris, whom I am now proud to call my husband following our wedding on the 12th of December 2015, and several cats.
 We've recently moved back north to my hometown after spending some 8 years in Portsmouth.
I was reading before I even started school and for me reading is nourishment. I read across multiple genres and forms, fiction and non-fiction, and can become totally absorbed. I am one of those people of whom it is said ;would read a cereal packet if nothing else was available.
I've written several things but never had the confidence to share them, partly due also to the fact that what I've written never fell into any specific category but was just what came to mind. For some reason I erroneously believed that I was supposed to adhere to one particular form. Thanks to the encouragement of amongst others DavidJThirteen & Lukekb333 who both deserve special mention. I am now reviewing my scribblings and notes and plan on posting some soon (I'm talking within the next few weeks not days though [make that months now] )
