I am in grief for the loss of my friendship with Thomas, During the last year I have experienced lots of the good things in life, but also a variety of very strange experiences including the break up of my writers group and much personal trauma.
I therefore intend to take time out, to recover from my grief and meditate about the past, to submit my novel The Grand Oligarchs of Qinsatorix to traditional publishers, and to rebuild the remainder of my life in different ways,
My best wishes to my many thousands of readers,
