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,
KP
