Never take anyone for granted

 One day they won't be here


Today, I am reminded of what I missed.

Our grandhcildren will be cisiting us soon, again I remided of what I have missed; I never knew my grandparents.
My grandmother died when I was only 3, and I had to wait for over 50 to see a photo of her; that was only because when ny lother died I inherited a family group photo of the marriage of my aunt Mabel. That photo waslost in the fire six years ago.

We moved south to Clevedon when I was 7, so, mother and I lost contact with our family. The only news we had after 1963 of the family was when grandad died when I was 16.

So, I have no memoies of my grandparents, and very few of the family we left in 1963, other than vague memories when a few turned up for the funerals of my parents,

Fighting for their lives, in a never ending series of rear-guard actions; the mind plays tricks on you, and for some, the endless fight gets too much. With the success of the first set of stories, I plan on adding four more stories in the omnibus edition.                                                 Forgestriker -  The hit series   When I started the series, I had no idea Forgestriker would take such a hold at  Barnes & Noble.  I looked at the site and thought  "With most of the market being in higher education establishments, I would have no chance of selling any e-books."  This...
