Bio
I love writing articles & fictional stories. They give me scope to express myself and free my mind. After working as a mental health nurse for 30 years, writing allows an effective emotional release, one which I hope you will join me on.

The Moment That Changed Our World Forever
Dr. Willow Ellenby wasn't expecting to discover anything out-of-the-ordinary when she scanned the soil samples that the latest research team from Antarctica had brought back.

Looks Like A Good One, Well Done Vocal, You Have Proven To Have Listened
What is there left to say but thank you. What am I talking about? I've been a paying member here on Vocal since 2020, although to begin with, I was not much of an engaging person. Perhaps it was because I had just suffered from the negative effects of Covid-19, and having realized that the combination of suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury (when I was much younger in life) and that the two events, had left me with permanent physical disabilities.
