About Me
- Hazera Forth
- I think I may be a Marxist. I'm a British Bengali woman, living in the UK with my husband. I am attempting to be the next big thing to waft into literature with my quaint, but usually unamusing stories of death and black-art mayhem. I was a member of an online writing group called Boot Camp Keegan, now residing with Fictionworkhouse. I've been published at Pulp.net, Eclectica, Aesthetica, Ghotimag, 7th Quark Magazine etc. I'm hoping to gain a licentiate in photography this year from the Royal Photographic society and no doubt, I'll post the panel for that here in due course. I'm posting the pictures of various photography trips and holidays as I find them on my PC so they're not necessarily in chronological order. I'll be posting general links and information on my writing blog.
