February Made me Shiver

 So, I have taken time out, and here’s the deal for 2026.  First, I am NOT giving up writing yet, but I am aiming to do monthly updates on the first Friday of each month.  Second, I am open to requests, but there is a queue, so bear with me.

 

So what do I have today?  Well…

 

How about a New Year Sale at Objects of Beauty? 

Or a double bill of In Their Own Words?  Firstly with some Christmas memories, and then tales of Bravery…

Perhaps a tale of Jay Edwards operating by candlelight…

The Games Players take on the Flat Block Challenge…

The Cat sees Red in his memoirs…

New stories of when Boys will be Girls…

The return of our Family Counsellor…

A mother and son share of their Awakening…

And finally, Amanda Lu has a tale of a Friend in Need…

 

I will be back, as always God Willing, on or around the 6^th of March.  Until then, I remain,

I'm Back

 

First, let me provide some new stories, and then let you know what has happened the last couple of months, and what may be happening…

 

The experience of being Stuffed and Silenced… 

Share in The Perils of Sheila… 

Ladies wearing hijabs and who can offer No Defence… 

Tales of a family ritual on a Dark Night… 

Old Friends get together…

Warmly Wrapped experiences… 

And finally, some stories of Young Seventies Damsels… 

 

 

Now, what happened?  Well, illness, holidays, and a massive writer’s block – but also I think getting older and reviewing priorities.  I started posting stories to the internet in 2007, and 19 years is a good run – but it has got harder and harder recently to write.   I’m also not getting any younger…

 

That’s not to say I do not have new stories - I have a backlog, so another update next week, but I am painfully aware I owe a few people requests, and to be frank there are stories I really want to write.   For example, I really want to write the story of the McAdam-Fitzstuart wedding, and more Pussycat Gang stories, but the stories pale with what is happening in the US now…

So first thing – there will be monthly updates after the next one, as always God willing.  But I am giving serious thought as to whether or not it is time to stop.  I will keep you informed.

 

Until next time, I remain,

Yikes

 Two months.  Two months in which I, in no particular order,

• Had my first holiday in six months
• Was ill for two weeks
• was working 50-70 hours weeks.
• Generally exhausted

It's been 18 years now since i started writing, and I'm not exactly a spring chicken any more, and yes, it does get harder.  I apologise to anyone i still have a request outstanding from - I will get to them - but I also thank you all for your patience and understanding.

I was also offline for a week while I installed the "Check you are Human" page that is going to annoy you.  It does me...

Let me make it up to you now with...

A visit to the St Monica's Ladies Circle in the 1950s...

An After School Special...

Families spend time So Happy Together...

Spend some time together Playing With Dolls...

An elder statesman reflects on A Good Career...

Beauty and The Best spend time with some Stately Grandchildren...

Jay Edwards helps host a Summertime Ball...

The Gentlemen Robbers apply Gentle Family Persuasion...

The Games Players, as I did, go on a long Vacation...

Enjoy some Mother-Son Bonding...

And, finally, courtesy of Amanda Lu, we say farewell to the Croonford Detectives...

I will be back, as always God (amd work) willing, in October.  Until then, I remain,

In view of my prolonged absence

 Let me offer a few stories by way of compensation...

Update and eBook announcement

 Apologies for the lack of updates - there should be one this week, but yet again real life gets in the way.

 

On which note – apparently there are new EU rules on eBook accessibility coming into play in a few days’ time – rules I discovered yesterday.  That means there is a real chance that the offerings at my Lulu page, on https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/KPPresents, may soon no longer be available in the EU until I update the contents to a new format, which I am not going to be able to do before the deadline.  If you do want to purchase any, I suggest you move fast – I will be updating and revising some books over the next few months, but I cannot put a timetable on them yet.
