Forty years or more ago - I don't remember exactly - I was in a city-centre pub, on my own, drinking a pint of beer. My wife was out of town for some reason. Anyway, I was approached by a woman a little older than myself, quite attractive, who propositioned me. It was quite a subtle thing, at first anyway, and I was a bit innocent (yes, I really was, once). Feeling a bit lonely, and sorry for her too, I gave her some money to spend time with me. No, we didn't have sex. Just chatted. But the memory surfaced recently and inspired the short story 'Beauty' which I will be posting when Jerry and Peter have had their way with it.
The story bears little resemblance to what happened then, other than the initial encounter, but if I hadn't been married, who knows? It was a little tempting.
I started writing a short 'Kat Magic' story for Christmas, but somehow got held up. As a result, it's in the posting queue now, a mere three weeks late. I hope I may be forgiven and my loyal readers will enjoy it anyway. Without spoiling it, I'll just say it begs a further story to deal with a new character and that will be forthcoming in due course.

I really hope 2018 turns out better all round! This is also an apology. I've been working on a Christmas 'Kat Magic' story, but, well, I lost momentum and it's still not finished. It will be finished and posted sometime in the New Year and I hope I may be forgiven for my tardiness. The Festival (apart from some illness and other problems) has been good here and I expect I'll be back to writing more seriously soon. One thing that has cropped up is an idea for a sequel to 'Delilah'. We'll have to see how that works out.
There's a sailing story waiting to be finished when Kat's Christmas is done, so perhaps there's something to look forward to?

The new Oscar story is in the posting queue. There will be nine chapters in all, posting every other day. Feedback always welcome!
