Goodbye Seattle

No longer in contact 

All things have their time, and my friendship with my editor in Seattle has ended.
Technically, we are friends of Facebook, but we rarely converse.
Julia and I met when she asked to edit one of my eBook selection, the short story, Chronicles of Mark Johnson went on to win an award. 
That was in 2012, since then Julia helped not only edit one project, but provided input for The Awakening.
The beginning of the story of The Awakening started with a chance comment I made on LinkedIn.
I was talking about the end of the Raj with a man in India, and I casually mentioned I was thinking of writing a story about the British in India; at that stage, that is all it was - an idea - Julia thought it was a good plan, and coaxed me to begin.


Part of the reason for the ending is Julia's age, and a large part is that I lost faith, not in my writing, but in the world of publishing years ago; this wasn't helped by finding out I had been scammed by Draft2Digital for a decade.

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..

Warhammer Limited Edition books for sale

 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 .
