So Hurricane Callum has reached even GOC this weekend, not nice even with just the fringe, best wishes go to everyone suffering more acute symptoms than a stiff breeze and a few puddles.

It might be miserable outside but there's no need to be miserable inside right? Well to aid that, for a limited period you can click here for a reduced price pdf copy of Gaby - The Anime Days. So if you missed it when it came out or simply lost your copy now is a great chance to put that right with the re-edited 2nd edition. Look out for more 'spot' sales over the coming weeks not just on Gaby but across the whole Maddy Bell / Scaramouch publishing back catalogue.

There is of course a free Gaby chapter today, Bad Memories is now up, what is young Bond up to now? There will be more on Wednesday when you can find out whether the new race season will be dominated by Bond or not.

in other news:

• My ride on Thursday turned out quite long (125km) and warm even if there was quite a breeze!
• The planned long ride yesterday was however a nightmare! Clearly a big ride was gonna be vicious in the strong, gusty winds so it was curtailed somewhat to @ 85km, even with a tail wind it was no fun as the wind gusted unpredictably - no fun for any two wheelers out and about.
• In between the riding I did manage another new chapter and I will be returning to that effort tomorrow.
• I've been looking at revitalising my posts here and the published works, several people have commented on how they enjoyed the images/illustrations that were part of the earlier works. Would you like to see some form of illustration in forthcoming releases? Do images add anything to your enjoyment? let me know what you think.

Well that's about it for now, I look forward to your comments and hope you enjoy the latest chapter,

bye for now
Maddy
