“My First Blog, Here Goes;

I like writing ‘What if’ Stories. To me, writing is an art of creation, no different than a painter who puts his concepts on canvas. In contrast I put mine on paper. My tools are not paints and brushes mixed and applied with a delicate, masterful hand. My tools are a process of using my beliefs, my life experience and my hopes (as a painter) but my outlet is the pen.
I spend countless hours writing, adjusting, re-examining, altering, pruning and adding. In the end I have created something that, I hope, book readers will find different, entertaining and food for thought.
My last book ‘Something Wicked This Way Comes..’ Has proven rather prophetic, it was written two years ago.
It is a collection of frightening ‘What If’ stories. The nightmarish scenarios include amongst others; a nano- technological experiment going wrong, Genetic engineering with a sinister twist, Global warming out of control and the title story, ‘Something Wicked This Way comes….

What do you think the most worrying thing which comes first, concerning the governments of the world agenda’s? Terrorism? Global Warming ? No! It is the outbreak of a pandemic!
‘Something Wicked This Way Comes,’ is about a Bird Flu virus which crosses the human barrier and spreads as easily as the common cold. This is a tale of what will happen if a virulent, pathogenic virus mutates into a human strain, with a proven mortality rate of sixty percent, spreads around the globe.It is a story of how the virus starts and spreads amongst the local population of …you’ve guessed it, Tunbridge Wells! It gives a horrifying description of the spread of the virus, the symptoms, the consequences of blind panic, fear and our ability to survive a pandemic in this day and age.
Of course that is all behind us now, you think perhaps? Not so! The Spanish flu pandemic started up as an irksome little abnormal virus with a sporadic, insignificant mortality rate, quite unnoticed in the spring of 1918. In the autumn something changed, to this day no one knows what, as a consequence however, 50.000.000 people died worldwide. THAT was when it took you a week to sail to America, a month to sail to China. How long does it take you now? At this point I must apologise, I do tend to get on my high horse at times and rant. Have you heard of a Dirty Bomb? Well if not, you had better learn fast! That is the subject of one of my little books.
As I perceive things, it is not ‘what if’ any more, it is… When.

If you like my subject matter come by again.

If not, Don’t blame me when you thought you have just escaped a situation by the skin of your teeth only to find something is missing off your body, or growing on it, or perhaps, noticing it glowing in the dark!!”

I love the thought that he actually meant that last sentence dead seriously.

noticed at last by the litterati of SYB!

ooooo, I like the sound of being a litterati

Can you imagine the excitement he must be feeling – his little heart fluttering as he lurks in the shadows, noticed at last by the litterati of SYB! Kind of makes it all worthwhile, all that laborious ejaculation of his seed in a pearl(s-of-wisdom) necklace into the faces of the internet blog whores.

“But now what?” I hear him ask. “I have their attention, and I love it, but what would The David do next?”

He’ll probably write a book about it. It’ll be an Epic.

Twitter is like any other site. If you put yourself up, you must expect criticism. You will get opinions from all and sundry. Those who detest you, those who find you interesting. It is the way of the internet. ALL life forms use it. All life forms and blogs will pick on you if their sycophantic followers get a feeling of worth.
Take it as a compliment. At least your interesting enough to be commented on. Personaly i love it, it makes me feel famous. bring it on people!!

Although I do quite like the bit about all lifeforms using the internet.

“Tiny” man the size of a microbe in relation to the Worlds ego system has NO bearing on the natural gases on Earth let alone influencing natural weather patterns.

Wasn’t it photosynthesising bacteria or something which caused some of the most drastic change to the atmosphere in earth’s history? Just if we’re going to talk microbes…

“”King Pin?” A by now, nervous, unsure as if he were on the same wavelength as the rest, officer interceded from the very attentive audience.

“Yes,” the professor answered in a mild tone, collecting himself and building himself up for the finale. “King-Pin. It’s an engineering term, the key which holds the entire machine together, not forgetting, we are most definitely dealing with a machine.

A computer, by all intents and purposes is, just a machine. Without the King-Pin, the machine grinds to a halt. I am trying to bring you down to the basics. The David is the kingpin. If he is taken out of the equation then the whole machine breaks down well, that is the theory.” He had finished his speech and looked back at the speaker and nodded.”

Quite, quite magnificent.

Nothing to see here. Carry on.

I came very close to buying a Cuger Brant book. I might yet. It is fucking funny.

Can’t wait to see that quoted on the back of the paperback version..
