With the ending of the Nowhere Man saga, I shall start posting my new story, which is called ‘Posting in Time’ which begins with becoming a temporary postman up to Christmas, and based on my own experience as a 17-year-old just finishing High School. It is set in Scotland around 1960/61, where I worked in the seaside resort of Gourock, next door to my home town of Greenock on the River Clyde.
The story swiftly diverges from reality and becomes more interesting in unexpected happenings, but you may pick up some transport history on the way, for Greenock at that period was the UK terminus of the regular transatlantic liners, and we still had steam trains on the local rail lines to Glasgow.

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.
