I am a proud Welshman, educated in Newbridge and Newport, and I am interested in promoting the arts in Wales. I paint, I write poetry, and I like photography. One of my paintings is on the cover of 'A Welsh Ghost Story'. I hope you like it. The lonely beaches of Wales inspire me to create all of the plays and ghost stories that my wife then creates most of the lines for, but she insists that I mention that I do write about ten percent of the lines myself. Perhaps ghost stories are a part of the very fabric of Wales, a part of the rich soil of Wales, for Wales is an ancient country, with an ancient culture.--Ghost stories seem to whisper to me from every valley, from every thicket, from every meadow; So, yes, Wales is my inspiration. I would like to dedicate this Celtic Ghost Story to Wales, and also to that man who spent his best years in a very dark coal mine, Dai Boulton, my father.--As a young man, he worked in the darkness so that his children could grow to be whatever they wanted to be. Thanks, dad
