Saw your name on a post or two and couldn't believe it - good to have you back! I'll ask the question everyone else is, how are you and what have you been doing?

Good to be back! How am I? Overall pretty good. What have I been doing? Well, let's see.

In October 2009 I got engaged. In December 2010 we bought a house. In April 2011 we got married. In June 2011 I started self publishing a novel that I'd been writing/ editing for years. I published it online, one chapter each Friday, from June through August. The whole thing's online now. (It's free).

Also in June we got a smiley - dog who is currently the bane of my wife's smiley - cat's existence.

And you?

I married in 2005, moved back to the Isle of Wight, couldn't find a job so started commuting over to the mainland, after a couple of years that was too much and so we moved back over to the mainland and I now work at a University and we have 2 children.

No novel yet, though. smiley - winkeyeSo, what's the link? And what is it about?smiley - book

The main website is: http://www.greenbanditpress.com.
The "cover page" is at: http://www.greenbanditpress.com/00cover-0/
The Table of Contents is at: http://www.greenbanditpress.com/0toc0/
And the story starts at: http://www.greenbanditpress.com/0prologue0/

It's a story about a retired attorney/ blossoming artist who picks up a hitch hiker while moving from Tennessee to New Mexico. The hitch hiker is a former con-artist turned private detective who just happens to become a coyote under the full moon. Together, they fight crime.

There's kidnapping, murder, secret societies, pirate treasure, and a lot of mexican food involved.

Well, not to turn this thread into an ad campaign, but I will say that each chapter is guaranteed to be 20 pages or less. So you could read it a little at a time smiley - winkeye
