I've got you a new chapter up!

Sorry for the complete £$%! up last week but I was having a senior blonde moment!

Good news tho - Book 14 is almost 2 chapters long - I'm aiming to have at least 6 by next weekend but its pretty intense as its currently set in Japan so the research is taking up longer than the writing!

More next weekend.

You do? well okay then, here is the next chapter.

Re my website - I know not what is going on there, if anyone does please let me know so I can get stuff fixed, I understand that the invigorated pages are almost ready to go live!

....until I get back from my hols! Indeed the next posting will be in September so once again I offer you 2 chapters to tide you over.

There is something missing from the last few chapters - the illustrations! Sorry about that, I seem to be crap at putting this stuff in so if anyone fancies a go, be my guest (hint, hint!)

So me and Nena are off on our jollies on Tuesday, collecting stories, trying new food, visiting new places along the Dutch and German Fresian coast - hopefully i'll be able to post pictures etc when I get back.

I got that carried away with other stuff this morning that I forgot the file with this weeks chapter - grrr!

i'll get it up asap but it's likely to be next week I'm afraid.

The expected change to my working pattern kicks in this week - back to office hours Monday to Friday for the first time since 2004! This means that starting from next week, updates will be on Sundays not Wednesday. The new fast connection is in and running - thank you Virgin so with any luck a lot of my recent connection issues are now sorted.

Okay so this week things have got pretty weird. Let me try to explain. Last week the bosses at work decided to move the contents of our 2 adjacent stores around - in a major reorganisation which effectively moved me from the store i've worked in for over a decade to the other premises. Well after stuff has settled at least.
Then yesterday afternoon the boss asked to see me and offered me a new job. They must have been reading my mind, it's Monday to Friday no stupid late shifts and a move from sales to stock control.

Later today for a new Gaby publication - Gaby Character Guide.

It's jam packed with illustrations depicting many of the main characters from the main series, covering the first 13 books. There's also a quick synopsis of the Gaby fanfiction as well as some information on locations and the Bond family tree.

So providing I can get an internet connection i'll post more details latert today.

oh and I've started work on Gaby Book 14 today!

To everyone who has read, commented and voted for the latest Gaby chapter - the response has been amazing!
I hope you enjoy the following scribbles just as much.

Is anyone interested in me posting Gaby Book 12 here?

For several years I received a stream of Gabyverse fanfiction which for the most part seemed to be received very well and enjoyed by many. Apart from specials by Angharad for the Gabycon's (this years event is the first weekend of July), this has dried up so that the arrival this week of a new interlude was quite unexpected.

The penultimate chapter of Book 11 is now posted - read, enjoy and get ready for more!

Mads

Well I couldn't keep you in suspenders so you can now read the next er, exciting chapter today. Of course I'm away for a while but there will be more when I return.

ciao bella

As advanced warning, the update on this coming Wednesday will be the last until the end of the month as I'm away to ride the Spreewald Marathon in eastern Germany. Hopefully by that point the new website will be just about ready - broken links, messy file systems, missing info - all this is being fixed.
