Writing Activity: Back in the writing routine - writing each weekday 
                            morning, usually for a couple of hours.

                             and correcting discrepancies, as well as adding scenes 
                             and working on character 'voices' and quirks.
                           Started research for another U3A talk, this one on 
                            'What Space Has Done for Us'

Writing Activity: Reading and researching space and possible ideas for
                            future space travel has given me more ideas to stir into

Picture
Ascent is launched today!

It's the final volume in the 'Unreachable Skies' trilogy, published my Mirror World Publishing. 


Zarda the Fate-seer, and the Drax she accompanied into exile have settled into a new life far to the north of their homeland. They have pledged their loyalty to Kalon, whose rightful place as Prime was stolen by his brother Kalis.
Zarda’s one certainty is that Kalis’ wingless heir, Dru, is destined to defeat their old enemy, the Koth; but how is he to do that when he is no longer the Prime’s heir? And how can Kalis, his scheming adviser Fazak, and their followers be overcome?.

 You can order copies from 
               - Mirror World Publishing shop
               - Amazon.com
               - Amazon.co.uk
Also available from Waterstones and Foyles on request. Also available in e-book format.

    What am I
    working on?

    Keeping a brief note of my writing (and reading) every week or so helps keep me focused on what I've achieved and what I haven't yet done.
