The Tricksters, a mostly family-friendly fantasy comedy, will be out before the end of the year. It should have been launched by now, but I'm just sorting out a couple of logical matters with my publishers first. It will be available globally at all the usual suspects like Barnes & Noble, with buyers here in South Africa also having the choice of Takealot.com. I'll place the necessary links under the cover above when the time arrives.

I created this website to blog naturally. The old saying "a letter to an old friend" comes to mind. If I were to simply regurgitate information from other websites, there would be no point in being here. The idea is that, over the years, readers can get to know me through my posts, while my publications increase.

For this reason, and due to time and preference, I have no internet presence other than this website. I had my years on Facebook and would much rather provide you with honest and semi-biographical posts than fragmented paragraphs that won't mean anything to you or I. X's frames of antagonism and hatred don't appeal to me at all.

In saying that, I do realise that many people favour both X and Facebook, and I've provided links to both at the bottom of each post. I do consider going old school and creating an email address for personal chats, but let's see how sales for The Tricksters go first.

I'll be working on a science fiction novel for the next few weeks, so won't be around, except to fiddle with some aspects of my General page. But the posts will build up over the years.
