Well I'm on the way home from Gabycon, where did the time go?

There will be a report midweek but it turned out to be a great weekend, those of you too shy to come missed some excellent food, great company, brilliant sightseeing and loads of brand new Gaby!

Put it in your diary for 2012 so you don't miss out next time!

*Shocking News*

Author: 

It is with great sadness and a few scrapes and hurts that i have to announce the demise of my faithful steed Foxy. On the way home tonight she hada major failure which luckily occured on a bit of traffic free road as i ended up in a heap on the floor.

I think someones trying to tell me something as i only lost Ginny a few weeks ago so a double bike bereavement is a bit of a hint.

I've escaped serious injury so thats good i think and it could have happened on our recent trip around Denmark or on a busy road.

Hi everyone

I'd like to thank everyone who has supported my writing over the years and an extra big thank you to everyone who has purchased books, especially the resounding enthusiasm for Book 8.

I'm away for a while soon but rest assured that i will be writing Book 9 on my return, i hope to have it ready for the Gabycon in September - or at least well on its way.

Gaby Tales

Hi peeps

Over the last few years Angharad and I have written a number of pretty much standalone Gabysodes for various competitions and events. Some of these have been widely seen on the internet, others have only limited distribution.

I thought it would be nice to bring a selection of these tales together in one single volume so if you have missed their previous appearances or simply like to see Gaby in print, this one’s for you.

So here it is, Gaby Tales, ten Gabysodes that sit outside of the main stream of either Angharad's or my own main Gaby storylines.

Hi Peeps

I finally had time today to find out what the problem with my conversion software was and hopefully on Wednesday not only will i have some more fanfics posted but I will resume getting all the print stuff into ebook format.

So check out my website on Wednesday to see the latest news.

On another front, I've taken the plunge, exchanged beer tokens and ordered a new hd for my lappy, well actually an SSD. If i'm lucky i'll be back on line at home before i head for plastic block land in July!

Changes part 3

Hi

Part 3 is now available and I apologise in advance for the blue background. It seems there is a gremlin in Lulu's conversion programme - I am trying to sort the problem but it seems rather hit and miss.

Changes part 2 problems

Well it seems the gremlins have been in here somewhere and my original release was badly corrupted.

Hopefully its fixed now

i suggest if you have issues with copyright that you don't use kindles and other ebooks - download the standard pdf file instead.

for those of you who were sharp out of the traps last night - well i can only apologise, send me your email address in pm and i will get you a clean copy of the file sent out asap
