writing – Page 17 – Fairy Hanny

“Who finds hundreds of mysteries, Even where minds are deranged?” Rumi

This is from the start of the second book in the ‘Fairy Hanny’ series. “Trans-Uranic Elements: The Dark SIde of Uranus”

University Twerps

There were just things that drove me mad. It was the posh boys that did it. You see, they had failed at school and all of their rich mates had gone on to study in the 18th Century at Oxford and Cambridge. Coprolite Studies in city’s trapped inside their own indifference; twas ever thus. PlayingContinue reading “University Twerps”

The Pool on the Hill – Seize the Son going down.

They drifted sloppily down the River Thyme, passing plenty of trees in a scented breeze, but no fields of waving corn. There weren’t many girls with peroxide curls, trying their best to become fishmongers from the bounties of the river. Oh bounteous river, river full of fish! They sat with ankles and toes dipping inContinue reading “The Pool on the Hill – Seize the Son going down.”

Put your sausage

Put your sausage in the frying pan, And mind the wasps don’t get your plums! See the Politicians lying, As they’re talking out their bums.

Picture yourself (with a little man) in a boat on a river.

Hanny had made up her mind and taken leave of King Innocent. “Why are you leaving me girl?” asked the King. “Oh Majestic Majesty, King of Kings, Lord of the Dance, and Suzerain of Suspect Undies! I need to find myself! I need adventure beyond your nethermost sphincter! I seek a great Quest to beContinue reading “Picture yourself (with a little man) in a boat on a river.”

Catching Up – and other movies!!!!

Well it has been a little while. I have not been idle but my Fantasy writing fell behind. My day job is Full Time Teacher of Mathematics and we have been extra busy with this, as we are a new school in Morocco! Part of my life plan was to travel so when my sonsContinue reading “Catching Up – and other movies!!!!”

Who Says Words With My Mouth?

I haven’t written much recently. I was busy with the launch of Strange Things From Uranus on Amazon Kindle and Paperback. Then I began editing Trans-Uranic Elements: The Dark Side of Uranus. Then my blood pressure spike to the point called Hypertensive Crisis. Why? Teaching full time, working every evening on my books and myContinue reading “Who Says Words With My Mouth?”

Updated version, ready for the sequels.

Kindle and paperback version uploaded to Amazon today. I will post links as soon as it is available. Some comments from first time round… “Just reading your novel…can’t remember the last time I laughed out loud reading a book!!! I’m hooked already and I’m only on page 7!!!” “It’s one of nature’s great ironies thatContinue reading “Updated version, ready for the sequels.”

29. Waiting; waiting for you.

Timelines run at funny angles. So do ley lines, allegedly. As for Chi lines they travel up and down your body like nobodies business. Railway lines are all curved and paid for out of government funding. Tramlines run through Manchester but not Liverpool. The Tram in Istanbul can take you from the Grand Bazaar toContinue reading “29. Waiting; waiting for you.”

27. Fat Larry and the Charnel House.

As the Sun beat down they lay on the ground and you could almost hear them talk. It turned out it was just Ethel with her lawnmower. Still, she knows what she likes. Bogey had guided them carefully through the wild country, past the most notorious gathering places of the Ogres, avoiding as many bridgesContinue reading “27. Fat Larry and the Charnel House.”
