Funny you should say that Steve, it's what I do, but only in a small way. The hardback publishers didn't want to know, too short, not enough...you know what for modern readers...well, they have to earn a crust. So I started on e books, got me a boss in Denbeigh and there I am on the internet. Tell you what, you don't get rich writing e books, but, gosh, it's fun....... :D
Think it must be the Celtic blood in me that has turned me into a story teller.
And I DON'T mean the way Eliza Ann told 'em! >:( either.

elliebob...........62 years.......Blimey....he doesn't look old enough. Your mother has looked after him well,or was it an arranged marriage,when they were "eight" ;D

 No sorry to the "COURTS",what a shame

Come in Boongie Pam.
Steve has asked where to find my e books. I'd be pleased to tell him, but am I allowed to name the website, or would that be breaking any rules.

Steve
This is my uncle Ron's son, my cousinTerry - is there a similarity to your brother?  It looked from your pic as though there might be.
