So - parcel fetched - it was a dig report from something I worked on for 6 years in the late '90's - only took the authors nearly 20 years to finish writing it up!

Fairly relaxing trip to Manchester Tuesday and finally today took delivery of the new passport, I can escape this madland now! hurrah!

And whilst waiting for the passport delivery I managed to write most of another Gaby chapter.

that there wasn't an update/posting on Sunday - family day and no internet!

But here's the chapter that should have been posted - Planning for Mischief.

I was hoping to have the next chunk of book 19 ready for the weekend but a meeting Monday and a wayward muse yesterday have both impacted the time line so Part 2 could be out Sunday or it might be next Wednesday.

Well I think that's everything

Okay so we'll start by linking you to todays chapter, Japan Revisited - more intrigue and gossip from Dernau!

In other news this week, the laptop that had fixed itself has fallen over again so that's looking terminal but on a more positive note, my injured leg is much better and I expect to return to more serious riding this week.

Oh and thanks to everyone who sent birthday greetings.

So here we are again, new Gaby and other stuff!

Yep, from today you can get your sticky mitts on the latest Gaby release, the first part of Book 19 - Girl's on Fire. Here's a quick sample;

Yes, the weather continues to be of the 'seasonal', ie winter variety in these here parts.

Writing on Book 19 continues apace so the impatient will most likely have something to read Sunday / Monday!

Here on BC you can today read Turnabout, chapter 21 of book 14 - hope you enjoy it.

Well it looks like a cold snap is on its way here at Bell central, time to dig out the thermals!

But never fear, there's more Gaby here - the next chapter of Book 14

I'd at this point, like to thank everyone who has supported my scribbling by purchasing Book 18 over the last week,

Thank You!

Well it's finally here, the full, edited and tidied up version of the latest Gaby opus!

Available from the usual outlets in the usual formats from some time this evening!

Is the title of this weeks Gaby Chapter.

In other news, the final parts of Book 18 should be complete in time for a weekend release of, at the very least the last 10 chapter segment and if I get my act together - maybe even the full 40 chapter book! So prepare your credit cards, dust off your Kindles and be ready for Sunday!

is the latest chapter of book fourteen!

So of course Gaby has to get into a pickle - an unexpected one this time!

enjoy

Mads

and its Gaby time!

fresh from a breezy (there's a 40-50kph north westerly blowing) Yorkshire there's new Gaby, Sobering Thoughts finds the Apollinaris party in Hiroshima.

That's today, on Sunday you can expect part three of the latest book to be available through the usual channels - more excitement and angst than you can shake a stick at!

That's it for now

Mads

and my writing has been a bit lax!

But anyhow Bath Time, chapter 10 of The Girl is up for you to read now.

Ciao for now
Mads

Yes, its true, we are in 2017 now and that annoying Bell woman is posting again!

For your delectation and delight, today I've posted Damp Squib, the latest part of Gaby's Japanese adventure.

My only prediction for the year is, drum roll please, stuff will happen!

I do have a to do list however

As the year draws to a close the temperature here is plummeting! What at first glance looked like a good layer of snow this morning was actually a heavy frost that has persisted all day - even in the city centre!

Things are a bit behind this week but the latest chapter of Gaby 14 can be found here today.

Looking forward to 2017 - I think!

Is it really a year since the last time we were here?

Well it is and it's been an interesting year and i'm sure the next one will be too. Let me make some predictions:-

Some people will die
Some people will do good stuff
Some people will do bad stuff
Some kids will be born
There will be weather
Shit will happen

In other words pretty much the same as every other year to a lesser or greater degree. So let me wish you all more good stuff than bad, more joy than pain.

Hi everyone

Got back home last e'en from an exhausting trip around the NRW (Nord Rhein Westfalia) region of Germany. Gab's dragged me from Muenster in the north to Aachen in the west and south as far as Bonn to enjoy the pleasures of the Weihnachtsmarkts. It was a gruelling week, 28 market sites in 11 different towns and cities which added 27 beverage containers to my burgeoning Gluehwein mug collection! Hopefully next week, when we've recovered a bit, i'll post an A to er S of the trip complete with pictures.
