Indian History

How I got the idea for Project India


The idea for my ebook based on the story came from several sources. The latest news is the story is now over 20 pages long, with the possibility of going on, I doubt it will reach novel length (40,000 words).

History has been a subject of interest to me for many years. Part of the idea for my story came from seeing the film Thar on Netflix. After seeing the film I wanted to know more about the fort in the film, and its history.
I am more interested in its history before the days of the British Empire, for this purpose I bought a book on the forts of India.
The idea for the story came from a discussion I had on LinkedIn with some people in India. Few writers have written about North India as it is mainly desert, and populated with tribes of wandering bandits to this day.
My idea was for a short story for the blog, but my friend and editor, Julia Petrakis, asked if I was going to turn it into a book she could edit?
I have no idea how far I can take the concept; it won't be unusual for me to turn a short story into a novel, I have done this twice in the recent past.

I am offended again

 The lady is NOT my type Though I am olde, and have standards, I am not a stic-in-the-mud, it does take someting nasty to offend me, and for the second time it has happened.  As with the first incident , the offense involved a young colored lady with larrge breasts, I have nothing againsr coloured ladies, I wasbot offended by this laady asking to see my penis as soon as we chatted, it was a little weird she was so forawrd when she'd only been chatting a few minutes to ask. What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..

 eBay extension Over the coming month, I hope to start selling some of my Warhammer Limited Edition books on eBay ; I did this some time ago with a little success. Many of the books are also signed, I never covered the cost I paid, my thinking is I may as well get something back as I never read the books, and there maybe someone who will read the book .
