While writing "Nowhere Man" I was sent a suggestion for linking the Reginald series to another of my series, and the idea struck me as interesting. However, I could not start work on it without stopping "Nowhere Man", so I eventually did halt in (to be continued later).
So, I have got the new Reginald story written - 19 chapters - ready to start posting in the next day or so. I am aiming tom post one chapter per week, to let me work on "Nowhere Man" again..

I have concluded Book One of Nowhere Man at Chapter 55. There are many issues outstanding that will have to be addressed in Book Two, but I have a higher priority: a new Reginald story, which I have started writing: Reginald's Disaster.
Once I have enough chapters of that written, I will start posting them, so it will be some months before I can get back to The Nowhere Man. So, my apologies to those of you who have asked about Book Two.

I am not going to get the next chapter of 'Nowhere Man' written and posted by Friday. I have a booksale to prepare and run this week, to raise funds for our local Scottish Episcopal church, so the chapter will hopefully be ready for next week.

I am sorry to say that I have been too busy this week to get the next chapter completed. It is only half written, so it will be several days more before I am ready to post it.
My apologies to all my many readers.

Of the many replies I have had, some talk of different words for the same thing; but my point was about different meanings for the SAME word.
One respondent mentioned Ass, which in the UK means a donkey or a foolish person, but in the USA it means the human backside.
One other I have thought of is Siding. In the USA it means the exterior wall cladding of a house, but in the UK it means a short branch of railway track used for temporary parking of less urgent trains.
It is useful if a story shows what the word's meaning is intended to be.
