About Myself:

Accountant, 55, aspiring writer. Married 2 children, 2 cats (not married to the cats but they think they rule the roost). See gallery for more pictures - George was starting to demand appearance money so I relegated him to the background.......teach him to be sassy!

Ok, so we're pals again.........Hey George, see the nice reader? Kill !!!!!!

Started writing in July 2007 and found that I couldn't stop. Manuscripts now comprise 3 finished novels (60,000; 85,000; 65,000 words respectively) one in progress (currently 20,000), 2 compilations of short stories (total 100,000 words), and some messing around with poetry, although I must confess that it's not my favourite.

That started as limericks on birthday and anniversary cards and now I can't get off the hook.

If anyone knows of a cure............I may be interested (although not JUST yet).

First manuscript is now a finished and published novel "A Ticket to Tewkesbury" (see stories list for a preview and list of acknowledgements).

Title article: The Emissary
Date: 2008-08-27 05:09:48

Very Good
Shades of the Michael Rennie film of 1951 "The Day the Earth Stood Still".

Very well written and without the temptation to go for the quick fix of an ending which ties everything together.

Nice cliff-hanger of a wait to see what decision is forthcoming.

Sucker for Sci-Fi.

Title article: Will We Meet Again?
Date: 2008-08-27 05:01:32

Good
Now THIS is poetry that I can relate to.

It has meaning which is transmitted clearly, rhythm and goodness me......ir rhymes.

Not a pop at you because this is a good piece. I just wish others would adopt the style.

Title article: after that afternoon
Date: 2008-08-27 04:58:14

After
Have to agree with Harmattan.

I kep saying that I don't do peorty very well, but there must be some on this site which reads like, well, poetry used to.

The Old Farts Society is very backward looking, but I just don't get this. The words are fine, but the meaning?.........well........

Title article: Respite from hell
Date: 2008-08-27 04:49:00

Woweee!
This was awesome. The pace was cripplingly fast and the plot held me right to the end where you finally twisted the knife.

Would NOT like to live inside your imagination.

First rate horror.

Title article: TALESVILLE TERRORS
Date: 2008-08-27 02:36:09

Stupendous
This really oput's everything into context and the insight is sharp and incisive.

Have a similar story in jky arsenal called "Dparing th Rod"

Great work

Phil

Title article: Stories Of The Mirror
Date: 2008-08-27 02:08:41

Insightful
Elroy, this was marvellous. I would never have thought of a story like this, and if I owned a hat I'd take it off to you.

Reeled with laughter at the images you portayed, and the mirror seemed to take on a personality all of its own.

Great piece of insight.

Phil

Title article: Mirror, Mirror
Date: 2008-08-27 02:02:25

How Absolutely Odd
Re Zombie Punk's comment........may I suggest that you look for a VERY similar set of stories running in sequential chapters.

May be doing you a disservice, but this has been done before, and VERY recently.

Title article: Empty Dish
Date: 2008-08-27 01:45:17

Warmth
Warm and fuzzy with a twist in the tail (sorry!).

Beautifully scripted and I could visualise all of the action. Had a similar relationship with my misic teacher's dog before I went away to college (a collie cross).

The symbiosis is awesome when this kind of thing happens. There's no bitterness, no temper tantrums and it's all giving on both sides.

Impressive writing and thanks for the "heads up".

Phil

Title article: I Am
Date: 2008-08-26 09:14:21

Explanation
This was a story not to be taken too seriously, and was more in response to requests received from a certain quarter who shall remain nameless........

If it didn't grab the attention then so be it, but it was kind of fun to write, and a little light relief's no bad thing.

However, ALL critique is gratefully received and will only serve to enhance any writer's skill (or lack of).

Title article: INTERNATIONALE RELATIONS (C,1971)
Date: 2008-08-26 04:28:48

Top Stuff
Really liked the flow of the five line stanza form.

Very emotional piece, and pulled at the heart strings.

Won't do a "Chaabuk" on you Stephen.

I just simply liked it.

Phil

Amie Kerlin (lemon)	Created On: 10/12/2008 14:53:04 Aparently I missed your birthday, so happy belated birthday. I just thought I would drop in and say hi since I hadn't talked to you in FOREVER. I have so much reading to catch up on. Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): Hey Lemon, not gone "sour" on me then? Belated thanks Phil
amanda (ams)	Created On: 10/01/2008 11:34:29 happy birthday!!! Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): Belated thanks Phil
Michelle Huff (allmine) Not sure.....	Created On: 10/01/2008 07:17:48 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): Golly, how did you know? It's really amazing that you knew..........so kind of you to remember an old man (!) Phil
Lisa (antheerr) England	Created On: 08/21/2008 12:07:32 I guess I'd better sign your guest book and say "Hi Dad". You know what I think about your writing - I like most of them (except for the one about the spiders you horrid man!), and the ones I don't are just not my cup of tea rather than there being anything wrong with them. I like the ones I already know best, like the wine one, or the ones about George and Poppy and co, but that's because I already know the stories, but enjoy the way you tell them. Anyway, keep going with it Dad - you need to start making some money though to pay for my lifestyle!!! Lisa
Max Booth III (Zombie Punk)	Created On: 08/08/2008 03:56:33 Wow. You been reading all my stories and now I feel bad I've haven't read many of yours. That gonna change, though. Just read your 'Layers of Innocence' and that was brilliant. You are truely a talented writer, my friend. I think I might start on your 'Stick' series next. Oh yeah, you can keep your cats. I'm allergic to them, they make me go blind. Keep well, Max Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): That's great because George says his passport is out of date anyway. Phil
Christian Wright (The 13th) WICKLOW	Created On: 08/06/2008 14:41:53 so youre from Derbyshire.Lived in Utoxeter, thats not too far from you is it.Anyway write on. Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): No, just up the road along the A50 - about half an hour. Phil
Nathan Weaver (onyxdragon) Missouri	Created On: 08/06/2008 07:59:46 I must say, I like Lulu as well. I haven't published on it, yet, though. I'm trying to finish writing and polishing a collection of short stories. I really like the way Lulu works. It's very nice. I'll have to go check your collection on Lulu out. Write on.
r.e.potter (r.e.potter) lost in my mind	Created On: 07/30/2008 05:50:21 Sit back and breath...popping stories out faster then the Spears sisters. I read fast, but not THAT fast. Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): In take 'em while they're there........no fresh ideas for a day or so, but got a stock af three or four to keep me going. Phil
David Neve (Tarhead Mugwump) hill country, texas	Created On: 07/27/2008 13:29:36 i read the disaster recovery story, and typically, after reading a story i bolt over to the writer's profile before i comment. just in case it's a young'un - i don't want to tip any tea kettles... if i like the writer's style, i usually look to see if he/she has other stories - and i hope for one or two. jeez - you have many... now i have a ton of reading to do. write on! Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): Errrrm..........there's fewer than there used to be. Deleted 21 and published them in a book on Lulu.com so you won't see them here any more. Had Potter grumbling at me for speed writing, but when the ideas are there, it's a shame to waste them. Thought one up last week just as I was dropping off to sleep, and for the life of me I can't remember what it was now. Must keep pen and pad by the bedside in future. Damocles was one like that, but this time it stuck until morning. Phil
Xena Elvoniche (Xena) yorshire bratts	Created On: 07/16/2008 12:19:08 sir fillip neale i christen thee... Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): Muchos gracias mi amiga.
