Atlast I am ready to post Book Three, the final part of Nowhere Man.
I have been working on a new story, one that is completely different from this and nothing like my Personalia stories either!

I seem to have lost a paragraph or two between chapter 25 and chapter 26. I will do a bit of rewriting and re-post Chapter 26 in a day or so.
Apologies to those who told me (or were about to tell me) of this discontinuity.

Folks - due to a domain registration hiccup, I am temporarily without an email address. My expert grand-daughter will sort it out eventually, but probably not until March, so that is why I will not receive your messages nor reply to them.
Sorry - life gets in the way!

Interesting to see one of my story ideas is also an Earthshot prizewinner this year.
On the planet Rehome I had a new company make a replacement for cardboard boxes from kelp (a type of seaweed), dealing with the way to make the material hard and not susceptible to taking in moisture. The real company has partnered with a seaweed company, while I had the local fishermen add kelp harvesting to their other tasks.

I was reading a story here when I nearly burst out laughing. The author used the terms 'pedestal and mortar' for grinding coffee. He obviously does not realise that a pedestal is what a stone column or a statue stands on.
The correct term is 'pestle and mortar'.
I would have contacted him directly, but he doesn't have that option turned on.
