Just want to confirm it wasn't me that downvoted that 2 star review! It was an honest opinion and people are entitled to their honest opinions!

Stu, I couldn't imagine you down voting anything.To be honest, I doubt if any of our groupites would down vote anything and that's probably why we've left the zoo. There's enough ugly in the world.
We need to increase the pretty. :)
I find the Meet Our Authors forum much less downvotey Patti.Here though, we appreciate authors. Where would be be, as readers, without them?
Ich. Without our authors I'd have to rely on my own imagination.Now that's a horror story!
Yep - there's enough petty nonsense in the world without dragging the wonderful world of books into that same mire!
Having said that, mire can be rather fun.We had a wonderful thunderstorm here last night. Proper rain.
Only the third time we've had rain since we got here. I took great delight in jumping in the puddles on the way to the bus this morning and during my playtime duty this afternoon I took my shoes off and showed a few children how to squelch their toes in the mud.
What??? I made sure they had clean feet before they went back to class. :)
Rain is my favourite weather and mud is my favourite food. That's what comes of being born in Dagenham...
I thought you were about to mention mud-wrestling Patti. Why would I have thought that of you? ;)
Now here is a WONDERFUL review that has just come in for The Bird That Nobody Sees!!!http://indieebookreview.wordpress.com...
Stonking review Stu. I wish I'd said that!
Not bad eh?? Certainly given me a sufficiently wide smile to keep on keeping on with I Woke Up This Morning!!
Cracking on with the paperback version of The Bird That Nobody Sees - hope to have it available for sale within the next couple of weeks!!
Stuart Ayris you are wonderful.
I sorta told everyone in the morning thread to read it.Hope that's okay. :)
To quote the great Elvis Costello - "I can't stand up, for falling down!"
*opens a tetra pack of red*Here Stu.
Stick in a straw and have a gulp. :)
Dust it off and Facebook it to the next generation!

I'm trying to add the paperback of Tollesbury Time Forever to the database so I can list a giveaway but I'm having trouble! Could anyone help please??
A paragraph I just wrote for I Woke Up This Morning...I’d left my socks in the hotel hostel motel room and carried my plastic shoes in my hands, tired of the way they nagged the back of my heels, red-rubbing sore and senseless irritation. Why put up with it when your bare feet can kiss the earth? Romantic notion when you’re in a soft field meadow of heather gorgeousness and outrageous sensuous delight. But when you’re walking along a shingle stingle canal bank, hopping onto matted grass for relief, trying to look cool in the fading summer evening so your wife doesn’t give you that ‘told you so’ look, well that can be awkward at times. I made it through though, even taking the lead sporadically in an imaginary race, until we reached some steps that led down to a path that we followed beneath a dripping dark bridge and back into the light, only to climb steps on the other side that spewed us up into the traffic jam Friday evening morass of metal and clank that is seen these days as progress. Though the pavement was kinder on my feet I missed the plashing lapness of the canal almost immediately. The plashing lapness of it all.
Did you get the required help Stu?Stu, my deepest apologies for not making your live event last night. You know I really wanted to.
Just couldn't manage staying up so late.
I'm so sorry. :(
Stu, paperback edition is on here now. Thank Elle x
Elle, Emma, Lorraine and Patti - I love you all! x
Aw Stu.You give me so many smiles. Lovely guy.
Cheers Ginger. Plan to add lots more to it now I've worked out the basics!! Any suggestions?

Just added all the reviews I've written for other books to the website. Any other ideas, please let me know!http://www.stuartayris.co.uk/
Nice website Stuart. Like your reviews of Treasure Island and The Moonstone, both of which I have read recently, the Moonstone I'm ashamed to say, for the first time!
Thank you Rosemary. That's very kind of you! Cheers for taking a peek!
I'm still waiting for bubble wrap.
Wait no longer! (Check out the new 'Games' section...
Great Stu, just what I needed - another way to waste time on the internet ;o)
Yayyyy! Bubble wrap!! pow, pow, pow, pow!!
