Brrrrr

It’s the first of February, which mean two things.

Firstly - White Rabbit!

Secondly, we get to look at the stats for visits to the site for January.  There were 7,372 visits by 4,037 people, with a grand total of 32,532 page view s- up 4.5% on the Christmas period.  Big shout outs this month to those who visited from Kuwait, Moldova, Andorra and the Czech Republic.  Looking at the UK, the quest for a visitor from my home town continues, although it was almost encircled this month by towns in Stirlingshire and the Lothians.

As for the US, only Wyoming and South Dakota yet again produced no visitors - unless of course, the mysterious “Unknown” was from there...

A big WELCOME to those who found the site through my Facebook page - to you we say Welcome - We’re Glad You’re Here.  Winner of the “How the hell...” award for obscure link - www.bestcatalogfree.com.

So, what weird and wonderful search terms brought people here?  This month we have...

A substantial spanking for her plump bottom - No Job TooSmall

Strange month - anyway, two quick announcements.

Firstly, don’t forget it is now possible to purchase my first collection of stories, Diamond Lights and Other Stories, either from Lulu or on iBooks.

Secondly, if you are involved in one of the Rope Dreams family of Yahoo groups, then nominations are now open for the 2012 Rope Dream awards.  I was honoured to be nominated last year for Best Fiction Writer - maybe it will happen again this year, maybe not.  In any case, read and nominate.

Back Friday with more.
