About Myself: Accountant, 55, aspiring writer. Married 2 children, 2 cats (not married to the cats but they think they rule the roost). See gallery for more pictures - George was starting to demand appearance money so I relegated him to the background.......teach him to be sassy!

Ok, so we're pals again.........Hey George, see the nice reader? Kill !!!!!!

Started writing in July 2007 and found that I couldn't stop. Manuscripts now comprise 3 finished novels (60,000; 85,000; 65,000 words respectively) one in progress (currently 20,000), 2 compilations of short stories (total 100,000 words), and some messing around with poetry, although I must confess that it's not my favourite.

That started as limericks on birthday and anniversary cards and now I can't get off the hook.

If anyone knows of a cure............I may be interested (although not JUST yet).

Sorry about the deletions, but they now form part of my first publishd work on www.lulu.com called "Selected Short Stories - Volume 1" please check it out.....

Change of Tack
This is something completely different from The Butcher of Barrios, and the initial paragraph to set the scene has a chill that the previous series did not. 
 
I found myself hanging on each word for some clue as to where you are going to take this, but I'll wait a little longer. 
 
Like the distraction of the description of places I can only imagine, being a Brit. 
 
Knowing your previous work, this one's going to be another belter.

Must Have Been Me
A quickening of the pace - it has to have been me. 
 
This was coming close to completing the loop with the Desperations, and I liked the additional tension of the extra shooter from the Hummer. 
 
Just when you thinkk the cavalry's arrived someone goes arse over tit. 
 
 
End must bne coming soon, and I'm waiting for the final scenes. 
 
Great going

Me
Maybe it's me and the after effects of the cold that's been bugging me, but the pace of this chapter seemed to have dropped. 
 
Your dialogue seemed a little stuttery and I knwo that's not like you at all, so I guess it must be me. 
 
Will mobe on to the next, down my coffee and shake the blues away baby.........(stop that!)

Changes
Changes of pace, dialogue and tone. 
 
It's great that you can do this with the switch of the telling to another character. 
 
This gives the story a whole new dimension, and is another trick to retain the reader's interest. 
 
Good going Max. 
 
Moving swiftly on.....

Told You
Great start Seb. Keep the plot moving at this pace and there's a very good story line here. 
 
Flows quite nicely and might lend itself easliy to changes in direction as characters develop. 
 
Well done

Thanks
Just a note of thanks to all of you who've taken the time to comment on this one. 
 
In all honesty the reaction has taken me by surprise as I didn't think it would be taken too seriously. 
 
Just goes to show how tastes vary doesn't it?

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh......
Poignant and fitting tribute. Nice picture too. 
 
I'm a dog lover as well as a cat person, and this one pulled at the heart strings as our first one died after a car accident on the main road. 
 
I wasn't there and you always ask yourself 'Would I have been able to prevent it?'.

I guess I'd better sign your guest book and say "Hi Dad".
You know what I think about your writing - I like most of them (except for the one about the spiders you horrid man!), and the ones I don't are just not my cup of tea rather than there being anything wrong with them. I like the ones I already know best, like the wine one, or the ones about George and Poppy and co, but that's because I already know the stories, but enjoy the way you tell them.
Anyway, keep going with it Dad - you need to start making some money though to pay for my lifestyle!!! Lisa

Wow.

You been reading all my stories and now I feel bad I've haven't read many of yours. That gonna change, though. Just read your 'Layers of Innocence' and that was brilliant. You are truely a talented writer, my friend. I think I might start on your 'Stick' series next.

Oh yeah, you can keep your cats. I'm allergic to them, they make me go blind.

Keep well,

Max
Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): That's great because George says his passport is out of date anyway.

I must say, I like Lulu as well. I haven't published on it, yet, though. I'm trying to finish writing and polishing a collection of short stories. I really like the way Lulu works. It's very nice. I'll have to go check your collection on Lulu out. Write on.

Sit back and breath...popping stories out faster then the Spears sisters. I read fast, but not THAT fast.
Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): In take 'em while they're there........no fresh ideas for a day or so, but got a stock af three or four to keep me going.

i read the disaster recovery story, and typically, after reading a story i bolt over to the writer's profile before i comment. just in case it's a young'un - i don't want to tip any tea kettles...

if i like the writer's style, i usually look to see if he/she has other stories - and i hope for one or two.

jeez - you have many...

now i have a ton of reading to do.

write on!
Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): Errrrm..........there's fewer than there used to be.

Deleted 21 and published them in a book on Lulu.com so you won't see them here any more.

Had Potter grumbling at me for speed writing, but when the ideas are there, it's a shame to waste them.

Thought one up last week just as I was dropping off to sleep, and for the life of me I can't remember what it was now.

Must keep pen and pad by the bedside in future.

Damocles was one like that, but this time it stuck until morning.

Hi! I just realized I haven't signed your guestbook yet so here we go. you might want to update your profile so it's not saying that the picture of you is George the cat lol
Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): Now look, you've only got my word for it that the picture really isn't me..............agter all, I am a story teller.


Will get it swapped pretty damn quick guv'nor...

Phil (Or george) - he's pretty cool though (Geoge, not me............although....)
