A word to my readers.

 Hello.

 

First, I know this is late - again - blame a couple of weeks in my real-world life I could have done without, followed by my annual battle with a throat infection.

 

However. There have been some monumental shifts in the real world this last fortnight as well.  I rarely if ever get into politics here, and when I do it is the context of my stories, but it is impossible not to recognise we may be heading into a very different world in terms of story sites like mine – and that thought, quite frankly, scares me.

 

For example – The Pussycat Gang.  I struggled with Jennifer to write stories for a few years, and part of that was the then current and now future president, and how it made it difficult to picture how they would work in that world.  We had just about broken that and were getting new stories together – and now, we face that challenge again.

 

Don’t get me wrong – there are stories I want to tell of them, of wedding and other matters, but I need to find that voice.  I do, also, have to consider how I can make my stories available in other ways.  So I am saying, now, that if I can get Lulu to behave itself I am going back to some of the earliest e-books I published – The Heidi and An Education books – and editing them, correcting some of the details and also adding some stories that never made it into the collections – and when they are ready, I will put them on my Lulu store and let you know.  Same for The Pussycat Gang – there are some details in the earlier books that need updating.

 

I’m also going to look at doing more collections of my other stories – The Games Player, updating the Jay Edwards book, and others.  If that site ends up a casualty of any changes that may come, then I am prepared.

 

But that will take time – for now, let us press on with some newer stories…

 

Such as when the Games Player enjoys a Sunday afternoon...

An edition of In Their Own Words

A memory of How I Spent My Weekend

What happens when Hell descends on another family…

Two men in black call at the same time as Grandma

A late Halloween tale of the Night of the Witch Hunters

As always this year, I invite you to Tead a classic story and to Remember Them...

And a new Croonford Detectives Case

 

I should back, God Willing, at around the 23rd of November.  Until then, I remain,
