Marcus Foxwell

"I have been writing pretty much since high school really. It's something that I've always enjoyed and has kept me sane through all of those mad times where no other therapy or advice has helped. I suppose it's a lot healthier to kill somebody on paper than go on a rampage really. I suppose you've just got to take all of that negative energy and turn it back into something positive"."I write mainly in the genres of horror, science fiction, psychological thrillers; I've even created a slasher tale and an existential jelly baby story. I'll try anything once, it's all part of growing as a human being really".Marcus is Lancashire (U.K) born and bred although he has spent some time in Southern Africa. He writes in many fiction genres and continues a thirty year passion for story telling that first began back in high school.

Discoveries

Chapter One

Richard Vastag watched Susan Malloy as she removed her jumpsuit. The odd thing was that Richard knew that she knew; that he was watching her. She could see his pupils dilate in the locker room mirror as she disrobed slowly; allowing her suit to glide over her NASA sculpted curves; her hair falling as if flowing from the heavens themselves. Each silken strand gliding over her svelte shoulders and finally embracing the shape of her perfectly formed breasts. She‘d even winked at him and all Richard could do was mop his own brow and try to contain the nearly overwhelming effect she was having over his body.

Trying desperately to avert his gaze from this display, Richard feverishly fumbled with the Velcro that held his jumpsuit together. It parted at alarming volume as he noticed with embarrassment the stiffening of his trouser area.
