It is some months since posting my last blog, the one that had nothing to do with writing, but that's me. I haven't been idle in the meantime , well not as idle as usually I am -- sloth is my default condition -- and have been working at what I pretentiously refer to as my 'art'. I hope to have the completed draft of the third book in the Linkage series ready for editing and proofing by mid-June.
My editor is Oldrotorhead, who is in great demand for his editorial skills and has many other writers to edit for, so it could be some time before I start posting the story.
In the third book of the series, The Waiter's Tale, the MC is French, which causes some problems as I don't speak French. In fact my mangling of the language during a vive voce exam caused the French female exchange student testing me to throw her hands up in horror and rush from the room in disgust (zut alors!). She must have informed the then President of France, Charles de Gaulle, of my desecration of their beautiful language, which was the reason he blocked the UK from joining the EU during his time in office.
Back in the day when I first joined Sol a feisty French speaking American female by the name of Zine was a frequent poster on the forum. If by chance you are still out there, Zine my lovely, m'aidez.
