My new ATA story is in the posting queue. Flying, no sex, but a bit of romance. Fiction, but based on a true event.

The Air Transport Auxiliary has been a fascination for me for some time and it seems is equally interesting to many of my readers. I've had in mind a story, based on a true incident, about the Bristol Beaufighter night fighter. It's taken a while, but the two chapter tale is now with my editor. The story, of course, is fictional, with fictional characters, not without a little romance, but no explicit sex - sorry.

Happy Christmas!
It's been a while, but here is a Fold Space episode, just two chapters.

Snow used to be an annual feature of winter, usually during January and February. Heavy falls, not so frequent. The last few years, a couple of decades, even, snow has been absent most years. It was a surprise this morning, then, to walk out of the door and find flakes drifting down. A surprise, but actually a pleasant one - I like snow, though in my seventies with my balance somewhat diminished, it's more of a challenge than an opportunity for fun. I don't think I'll be getting Oscar out of the garage just to ride in the snow!
I do, however, determinedly go out for my daily three miles or so walk, broken by the Park Cafe and my first cup of coffee. My writing is becoming an uphill activity, sadly. Current projects are proceeding, but very slowly. Probably my next post will be a Fold Space one, to pick up a loose end several readers have complained of. I have nearly two chapters finished of that and am moving along with it.

Yes, I know I'm posting the Delilah story, but I thought I'd point out that my offering for the Halloween Contest is now generally available. It would be nice if the downloads got up to my usual levels. And maybe improve the score? I mean, it may not be a great Halloween story, but I think it's up to my usual standard of readability. How about it?
