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.....

Sad
It is a sad fact that human kind fights againsy its environment instead of working within it. 
 
Caught between two stools, do we accept what we are given or strive to better ourselves and use the tools which we have discovered? 
 
History tells us that we misuse those very implements that should be wielded for the benefit of all. 
 
Applause for your great portrayal of what is an iconic creature in a well crafted and 
constructed manner.

Oops
Sir Stephen, I do believe you could be right. 
 
My apologies Matthew for the misunderstanding, but my opinion stands, it's bloody good. 
 
Must be the weather - we've had some recently.

Magical
What a wonderful depiction of the first bloom of love changing its colours into the workaday shades of a relationship. 
 
You've grasped the whole point here of a lasting partnership being more than the excitment of fireworks which rapidly fade. 
 
Marriage is a wonderful thing, but it's also bloody hard work at times, and the test is when it lasts 32 years and counting - mine has. 
 
This was fabulous.

Bungled
Very interesting rendition, in a tricky art form, of a bungled murder attempt(?). 
 
If so, this was very very good, and I take my hat off to you.

Title article: Bitten, Chapter 2

Step Up
You've taken the plot and the suspense up two or three notches with this chapter Darrin. 
 
We overuse superlatives on this site, but this style of yours is rivetting in its intensity. 
 
Lesser writers would have gone into graphic details with the assualt and rape, but you left it to the imagination - a much more powerful and devastating tool. 
 
As a chapter end this was fantstic, and I assume that you exactly where you are going to take us all next. 
 
Brilliant.

Title article: FIRST SEX.
Date: 2008-08-27 07:14:21
Graphic
Nicely done sir. 
 
Graphice and tastful account of the loss of "innocence". 
 
Liked the way you used the counterpoint scenario of kids outside playing, completely oblivious to what's going on inside. 
 
A tale of friends lost forever as a maturity creeps in.

Religion
Not into religion of any kind, but do work with the local Methodist Church. 
 
This was sweet though, and lots of people get comfort in time of need, so I suppose it like everything else has a place. 
 
Nice rhythm.

If you guys think this is good.....I could tell you all one or two things that would freeze your beer.............couldn't I Lisa???????

Title article: The Chelsea Apartment
Date: 2008-08-27 05:57:51
??????????
And I get called "Twisted"??? 
 
This is twisted in a direction I can't even find on the map.  
 
Thought your descriptions of the capital were good, and control over a tight and short scenario excellent. 
 
Let the swine have 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....)

Well first off I would like to say that your mystery stories are some of the best if not the best I have ever read.

Second,
