Good evening Tim. Where would you like this box box of rubbish? :)
Stick it in the corner next to those boxes. If enough rubbish accumulates we can build a defensive barricade, then Jud can climb to the top and wave her flag while singing Beyond the Barricade... ;)
Box of rubbish for some geezer named Tim and there's some guy out the front who is after knowing can he back his skip wagon in?
Here's some more rubbish. I tidied the kitchen!
Thanks Ignite, but why did you have to empty the cake tins first???
Jim: No skips, sorry - can't get them through the door. We've tried!
Don't worry, just wave him through, left hand down a bit, left, left, touch more left.<< CRUNCH >>
oooh nasty
Here Tim someone left all this rubbish lying around, couldn't get in the door after work!
I told him, I said it won't go through the door. I told him. But did he listen? Did he heck.

I think the rubble round the door is stopping the thread dropping down the table as it should. The moderators will be along in a moment to tell you to get it tidied up
It was me tidying up that started the problem I think. Where shall I put these potato peelings?(Jim would no doubt say, 'In the pig,' although you are not allowed to do that these days, I think.)
Been playing around with Kindle formatting while waiting for the slower beta readers to report back. What fun, eh? I'm trying to do stuff so the kindle version will look at least "similar" to the printed version when it appears, but that's easier said than done, it would seem...

I think the only thing you're allowed to do any more is pay tax
Yes. For a given value of 'allowed'!

Hi Tim!!!A message from me should be hiding in your inbox!!! ;-P
Ta. I shall give it a good going over... :)
Dunno - it sounds more like a mugging!
Ignite wrote: "Dunno - it sounds more like a mugging!"in some parts of the country the two are pretty well indistinguishable
Have you ever been to a literary mugging? Sticks and stones, they say... don't you believe it!!!

I do love your quotations, Jim!
Ignite wrote: "I do love your quotations, Jim!"I've made a habit of collecting them when I saw them.I remember the immortal words of Andrew K. Lawston
"bold tales of freely-punctuated forbidden vampire love"
I find they are 'Corroborative detail to add artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.'
I'd almost read that. Note the important word. Almost!
From the words of Tim:Bold text nearly fit on pag

Okay, 3rd draft is done. I'll send out a mobi to my beta readers when I get home.There are some changes in there that I'm not totally happy about, but I'm going to send it Anyway, and stew over the implications of the changes for a few days.
Books 2 and 3 now have new titles...But you'll have to wait until www.flickcarter.com goes live to find out! ;)
Oh, you are a dreadful tease, you Tim!

Nope, not nice weather, and I'm working the weekend, but thanks for asking ;)

Lets make guesses as to what he's change them too!!!
Hunted
Killed
Stuffed
Am I close??? ;-P
Hunted: Shot: Fished?Hunted: Skinned: Garnished?
Hunted. Gralloched. Roasted.

Hehe bit messier than marmalade!
Rosemary wrote: "Hehe bit messier than marmalade!"It sounds like something Lori would be interested in! ;-P
Rosemary wrote: "Hehe bit messier than marmalade!"Now that is a good title! Lol
Oh, it gets worse. I've decided to reorder them (the titles, not the actual books!) So HUNTED is now book 2...The rest will be revealed... tomorrow. It's better, trust me!
(got to go and redo all my graphics, mumble mutter!)
Oh, look... There's a clue in the topic heading!
Hunted is actually a better title for book 2. Only trouble is, I shall now feel like I'm writing the same book twice... It's deja vu, all over again!For those that haven't re-tried the webby link from the other day, the site is now up. Not a huge amount on it yet, but it'll grow...
Site is utterly brilliant Tim. So good that I might nick bits off it ;)
Ha! The irony there is that I nicked some ideas off yours...(btw, the site is mobile friendly - it'll resize itself to work on your iPad, phone etc - just shrink your browser window right down, and you'll see... :))

Just off to look at the site.
