As promised in my last entry, the new Kat Magic story is submitted for posting.

I know - I said I was working on a third Fold Space story. I got half-way through chapter five and stuck fast. But I had several story ideas bubbling away, and I've managed to finish another Kat Magic story, with more about Kat in it. It will be posted as 'Viviane' when Jerry, Mike and Peter have finished with it. I also have an Oscar tale in the wings, but it's a Beta version of 'Here's the thing'. Someone asked for the story from Julia's POV. I hope I can do it justice. Then either back to Fold Space or the Surly Bonds prequel If I can get past the block.

I've just submitted the fifth 'Devastation Diary' episode for moderation. Read. Enjoy. Tell me how great it is. Or not, of course...

Completion of Fold-Space 3 is delayed. First by my wife's illness, then I spent time in A & E with a deep cut in my forefinger - would you believe the bulb in my oven exploded when I tried to change it? Anyway, I get back to the keyboard, and what happens but that my Muse comes up with DD5. DD5, which will probably be titled 'Sabina', is another short story, about 7,500 words as told by a man who has consigned his shrewish wife to the Training Centre and gone shopping for a replacement. Supposedly a temporary replacement. Of course, there's nothing so permanent as a temporary expedient. I'm pleased with it. It remains to be seen what my editors will think, but I think followers of the Devastation Diaries will like it. For now, though, it's back to Andromeda in Fold Space 3.

I've just submitted the third 'Kat Magic' tale for moderation. While it's not essential to have read the first two, it would help to know the background.
I'm well on the way with a third 'Fold Space' story, for those who have been waiting for that.
