An old song whose lyrics grow ever more relevant to me. "I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told. I have squandered my resistance for a pocket full of mumbles such are promises. All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest."

Great news! Someone whose opinions I don't respect read my first novel, Sha'Kert, the other day, complained that 'there were no firefights, space battles, and everyone talked about their feelings'. Hell, that's better than a 5 star review to my ears!

Time to get this is now, SciFi readers.

…an extremely promising start to a series...strong characters, from a diverse set of backgrounds, reflecting how the issues it raises impact the world...balance between cosmic scale and personal stakes adds weight to the story...one to look out for. - Review British Fantasy Society

No, the final and irrefutable piece of evidence - the Gatekeeper has lost its mind! Knight of Gaelgara IN HARDBACK for the price of three cups of coffee? The insanity won't last long. Buy it now.

Apparently today, 20 July, is international moon day. So why did the police get involved while I hung my butt out the car window this morning?

And over on facebook ...

Another day, another bot playing Elon. Sheesh, and there I was thinking the big dolt was following me ....
