This little flaggy doo-dah that I now have attached to my blog is proving an endless source of mystery and amusement. Sixteen visits from India. India? I have a soft spot for India; I would love to talk to somebody from there. But I haven’t a clue who it is (or who they are.) Same with Arkansas – three visits from there. Who lives in Arkansas? Hello, Arkansas. *Waving* Talk to me.
Then there’s Chris from the Emerald City (Followers, not flags.) Are we talking Seattle or Oz here? Hello Chris, whoever you are.
I do wish you’d all introduce yourselves. Hands around the world, and all that.
It’s 1.30am in dear old Blighty. I think it’s time for bed.

...until death do re-unite or the Priestess return to Avalon.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
The moving finger writes and, having writ, moves on. Nor all your piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all your tears wash out a word of it.
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self .
This character appears in one of my short stories, and also in the novel. He's sadder than he looks, poor thing.
About Me
- JJ
- Ashbourne, Derbyshire, United Kingdom
- I've never had money because I've never been driven by money. I received little formal education beyond the age of sixteen, which isn't such a bad thing since you get a different angle on life that way. Learning what you want and need to learn often reveals things that the system's road keeps hidden.

Anyone interested in viewing the availablity of my novel Odyssey or novella The Gift Horse can do so here.

Free Fiction
I have another blog called A Handful of Stories on which I've posted some of my short fiction. Most of it has been published by a variety of independent small press publishers, so somebody other than me must have thought it worth reading.

I'm the Indian. Adore your writing.
This is interesting, I'm going to get me one of these flaggy doo-dahs.
Well thank you, India. I adore seeing your flag on my blog. How did you find me? Do you have a blog of your own?
Greetings McC. If you click on my flag views, you'll see that they identify US states as well. It's a lot of fun, but I'm not always convinced of its 100% accuracy. Love seeing Ohio, too.
Where does one get that little widget anyway? I notice many bloggers are very savvy with numerous, colorful widget thingies. Is there one place I can go or must I invest another 10 hours on the computer? Thanks, Jeff :)
Hi Della. All you do is click on the flaggy thing, and there's a button to get your own. It takes a few details and then gives you an HTML code to copy and paste into wherever Wordpress takes gadgets.
