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!

I'm still having trouble with lulu's upload interface, my files and embedding fonts in pdf's so once again we have a blue background.

The problem will be sorted out before i print the full book, once again though, thank you for your patience.

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

As somebody (in good intention no doubt) changed my posting of Photo Opportunity to include everything available there is no point in me posting anything else.

Please, if you are on the organising commitee check what you are doing.

So you aren't hanging about waiting i thought i'd post a quick note.

I shan't be posting anything new here for the foreseeable although visitors to my site, maddybell.com might well find something from time to time.

  1. From feedback i have had @ 30% of the readers don't like my stories
  2. I don't have anything to post
  3. i'm too busy with other stuff to write
  4. I can't be bothered

The situation could change at any time - i'll keep you posted
