I'm working my way towards finishing a short story collection. Here's my new WIP: The Replacement. A female doctor, haunted by a death she couldn't prevent, takes a job at a remote Queensland town in 1978 and is unnerved by the strange devotion shown to her by the townsfolk. #amwriting #writersky

I completely redesigned my writer's website and published it today. Last night, I walked into the Moonah forest near me and took a photo of the trees. It's the cover picture on the home page. Take a look: marksperry.com #Authors #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriterLife #WriterSky ##HorrorLit

This is a great article. I looked into doing a creative writing diploma or degree and gagged at the cost. It’s a terrible situation that needs to change, urgently. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Yeah, this resonates with me. I'm similar—I first heard of them with "Green" and I worked through their back catalogue from there. Loved it all. "Finest Working" is the one I'd add to your list.

ConnectID doesn’t see or store any consumer data. It’s the network operator, setting the standards, connecting the relying parties and the four major banks (aka identity providers), all of whom are certified by ConnectID.
