…and I’m back in the room

Just arrived home from Mull to find nearly 20 spam
Comments (18?!) and over a two hundred emails that I will have to sort and delete.

The Holiday was pretty amazing, but I'm glad to be online again. As predicted I actually got no work done what-so-ever, on Ironmaster and I even failed to do any editing for Lulu editions of Cu1ture B0mb or Chronoclysm (so they return to the pile as things to do after Ironmaster 1st draft).
Mull was incredible and I'll try to post something about it (probably a image gallery or series of Tumblr posts) at some future date. Until then...

kateoplis:

"Forty-one million IQ points. That’s what Dr. David Bellinger determined Americans have collectively forfeited as a result of exposure to lead, mercury, and organophosphate pesticides. In a 2012 paper published by the National Institutes of Health, Bellinger, a professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, compared intelligence quotients among children whose mothers had been exposed to these neurotoxins while pregnant to those who had not. Bellinger calculates a total loss of 16.9 million IQ points due to exposure to organophosphates, the most common pesticides used in agriculture.”

This “silent pandemic” of toxins is believed to be “causing not just lower IQs, but ADHD and autism spectrum disorder.”

We don’t actually know what causes the developmental problems that are broadly lumped together as ‘Autistic Spectrum Disorder’, and no clue what, if anything, is behind ADHD, so it seems a bit disingenuous to mention it when we can clearly point to insanity, liver and renal failure and a swathe of neurological impairments that we can identify. 

AFK

Hi all, me and the family are quitting Liverpool for a week to drive and sail up to the Hebridean Island of Mull, where we will be meeting some friends, and generally taking it easy.

While on Mull I probably won't have the interwebs, which means no blogging, no twitter and no working on Ironmaster. So I'll pretty much be AFK (away from Keyboard if your not TLA compatible). Although, there may be some tumblr automation and queue so there'll probably be a little action on the site.

I am taking my laptop, (but am not imagining a connection) so if I want to work it will have to be on preparation of the Paperback (Lulu) editions of ‘ Cu1ture B0mb ’ and ‘ Chronoclysm ’. Tidying the manuscripts and converting to a standard print size, etc. So if all goes well, I might have another couple of books to sell after Easter.

Although, another option is that I might start planning my next book (book 1 of a new book series- the first of which is provisionally titled ‘Nomad’). If I get any planning done I might post it here.

It is possible that I might post a little something about Mull when I get back, and the kids are back in school, around the 22nd April. Until then have fun and have a read around the site. Comments will be enabled, but without me to approve I'm afraid you spammers will be wasting your time (I hardly ever get non-spam comments).

If you really want to blow my mind, and make my Easter, go read one of my stories/articles or buy one of my books, and leave me a comment that is actually relevant to that product/article/post, and not about shoes, hats,handbags, perfume or cheap watches (I'm not sure why the spammers think an indie sci-fi author's blog is the ideal place to sell this stuff), but we both know you won't.

If I don't "see" you have a great Spring festival season, and may the Ostara hare leave you the nice chocolate eggs and not those tiny ones he left me last year that looked like coffee beans and tasted worse. Have fun!
