New cover and title.

By
Well, it's been a long time coming but here it is: SEETHINGS
You are probably wondering two things: 1)What happened to the old title 'In The Bed Inside Me,' and 2) It looks like it's ready. Where can I order a copy?

The answers are as follows:
  1. I didn't like the old title. After a year of watching it being displayed in various places and typing it into emails and messages, I didn't feel it looked so good. I had several other titles to choose from and SEETHINGS was one of them. It appealed more and more to me because of how it tricks the eye, like one of the characters does in the novel. The word is derived from 'seething.' I guess most people know that part... and so it's plural (if there were one to be had) would be 'seethings.' When I put it on that dark background, it changed. It 'looked' like as though it could be three different words. The first two seen (especially by a younger generation) would be 'SEE' and 'THINGS'. The third, would be 'SEETHING' with an extra letter at its end. Both interpretations are correct, with the action of understanding the alternates being the most accurate of all, like the narrative. (Cute, eh?)
  2. Copies of the novel will be available from Amazon very soon. This image is just a mock-up from the original artwork supplied to Amazon. I am waiting for the US to return some paperwork to me before giving the green light to print.

Sex Before Marriage and The Devil's Work

Sex Before Marriage. It's The Devil's Work! A.D. 1202: Europe is coming out of its darkness. The Middle Ages witnessed the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of The Church. It was a disorganized, brutal period in history but The Church held up a shining light with its promises of a royal life after death. The Holy See, protected by its loyal soldiers and ideals, offered hope to the poor, lost and lonely. The Vatican became the authority of everything. A.D. to NOW-ish: History  shows that thirty-nine Popes were married! Oh? Nobody mentioned that, did they? For over a millennia, Popes, Bishops, Cardinals, Priests and any clergy who had a desire to wed, could do so, no questions asked. Sex was allowed too. Sex before marriage was fine. Sex wasn't an unholy act. It was allowed on any day, on every day if that's what you liked. Sex was never an issue. That became a topic of debate much later - when it suited the Church to do so.

"Totally Disgraceful!" Review of Silver Sands Resort

You're considering visiting Silver Sands Resort.  There are rumours about and you want to know the deal.  Is the trip worth it? Will the stay be plagued with issues?  Just to make sure we're talking about the right holiday destination: This is Silver Sands Resort, Mandurah, Western Australia . It's not to be confused with another place in America or Africa. Ivan Hill manages this (plus) forty-year-old resort. It's part of the Classic Holidays group — built in the eighties when time-share resorts were popular. Silver Sands Resort has fantastic potential — but it's limited by one thing. Its leader.  Ivan Hill has produced a toxic workplace — in turn, it's become a toxic vacation destination too. The guests are complaining and unsatisfied with the resort's standards. Ivan Hill continues to mismanage the place. His actions remain unchecked by head office.  Morale is low at SSR. This flows onto everything that functions within the resort. The staff dislike Ivan&

Saving a Drowning Pigeon from the Sea.

In a former life, I raised racing pigeons . My early teenage years were spent breeding pigeons to fly in competitions. Their unique ability to find their way home from long distances totally amazed me. Fast-forward to March 2008: Mark and I were on a sailing a trip from Woody Point to Sandgate in his unusual-looking trailer-sailer for a meat pie at Doug's Cafe . On the way I noticed something floating in the water ahead. I wasn't sure what it was, but I asked Mark to navigate towards it anyway. It was a baby pigeon! Only a tip of beak and a bit of a tail was left above the surface. The chick was in distress and completely exhausted. My best guess was that it fell from the nearby Hornibrook Highway bridge (They nest underneath the support structures) and fell while trying out it's new wings. Yes, it was a toddler learning to walk.  Baby pigeons aren't perfect on their first flight. They mess up and fall down, staggering about just like a toddler test
