Snippet
"He extended the tube and, as he pressed the button, described a semi-circle with the instrument. Immediately the tall guardsmen toppled over like so many tenpins, and Rob stepped across their bodies and penetrated to thereception room, where a brilliant assemblage awaited, in hushed and anxious groups, for opportunity to obtain audience with the king. I hope his Majesty isn't busy, said Rob to a solemn-visaged official who confronted him"

Good Heavens! I had no idea actual people were reading my blog so I'd just been posting to it whenever I needed to vent from a fit of depression or try to impersonate Holden Caulfield. I'm even more amazed that a stranger actually read my blog entries and still wanted to read my novels.
This is a 42 chapter satire I've been posting in on a forum for some friends to see. It's not edited or polished or anything but that will be done when I decide to publish it. Do have a look while I peruse your blog here.

I have to say, I enjoy your work, and you're a lot braver than I am. I've posted maybe one poem in my blog in the year that I've had it. I did post two of my novels somewhere, but that's only because I was sure they'd be well received.
Ah it's really interesting to read the blog of someone in England. I set three of my novels there and I have to say that what comes naturally to you was a pain for me. I had to smack my hand every time I tried to write customary measurements and then convert them to metric. Why the US wants to lag behind the rest of the world I have no idea...
But your poetry is certainly remarkable. It sounds very original, which is something that I always worry about in my own writing. I hope to see more of it sometime and will try to post a poem in my own little place and get away from all this doom and gloom I've been under. It shouldn't be hard due to spring and all.
