Just over a week ago I bought a motor-cycle. Last Friday I rode it - running in, so without exceeding 50mph! - here to Maldon, where I am child-minding my nieces. Since they're in school, it means I actually have time to write, though it takes some discipline to actually do that rather than something less demanding of mental effort, like ride my new bike! Current project is a much longer Devastation Diary. I'm up to chapter 6 already. Better hope I can think of a suitable ending...
You may have guessed there's often an element of wish fulfillment in my tales; not so much the sex (though I admit I'd like more) but, for example, living on a boat (in ANL and Serendipity) and riding motorbikes. I am in the process of living one of my wishes. Like Ray King in 'The Bike and Jamela' I'm buying an Indian Royal Enfield. In fact, God willing, I collect it tomorrow. I don't suppose there's a Jamela in my future - I'm quite sure my wife (who has not left) would not approve - but at least I'll be back on two wheels. Hopefully on a machine that isn't too much for my old reflexes to cope with. It is - I hate to say this - twenty-seven years since I last owned a motorbike. Wish me luck, and look out for more stories starring a Royal Enfield Bullet!
My next posting, due in a few days involves the recognition of love between a sister and her 'little brother'. But when is incest not incest?
Thank you so much for writing and your compliment. I tried to reply but the email bounced. Do get in touch if you can sort out your email!
