Having done the writing challenge at NaNoWriMo for four years, I wanted to complete the process, and actually create a book you could handle.

NaNoWriMo - for those who don't know, involves writing a 50,000 word novel in a month, along with thousands of others - rather like a fun run marathon...

These are not yet honed books, just a manifestation of what you can write in a month, if you get your head down to the challenge! Then ask a friend to make you a cover. I didn't edit them much, so please be aware of their raw state - just playing at publishing.

To try the different formats I also put my mother's teaching notes up.

My friend Mick (RIP) had always been working on a book, so as executor I compiled his papers as best I could.

Oh, and I have pulled together some bits and pieces I have written over the years, for magazines, blogs, etc.

One day you may find my autobiography appearing here, but that seems like a long slow process...
