Arthur Chappell; I am a diverse and modestly read poet and philosopher, who was born in Manchester England on February 9th 1962. I am a published writer, performance poet and secular Humanist with a degree in literature and philosophy. I currently work as a warehouse operative. I was unfortunate enough to be brainwashed into joining an extreme religious cult which I escaped from in 1985. I write mainly to prove to myself and others that I am capable of being more than just a victim, so that I will be remembered first and foremost as a writer rather than just as 'that bloke who was in some weird cult.' I have several articles, poems and stories in print, as well as a website [[1]] I have issued a very successful audio CD, Bard For Life of my best performance poetry. There is also a book collection of my poetry and short stories called '[Dreams Take Flight]'. I am also a member of the Sealed Knot English Civil War Re-enactment Society, which I serve as a pikeman on the field of battle. This influences many of my more recent stories, poems and articles. I write horror, science fiction, erotica, and much more besides. e-mail [[[arthur@chappell7300.freeserve.co.uk]]]
