Thanks again for sharing, and can I have some more, please, sir?

That's exactly where the story came from, a simple observation I think anybody might have made. I'd been watching the horrific news reports and a brilliant video investigation by Attack of the Show (which put the BBC and everyone else to shame) and I'd wanted to write something about how angry and powerless the whole thing made me feel. I just didn't have any way to do it. Then I saw the pictures on

There'll be a lot more now I'm in my groove again
I have the Yves and Liseuse stories coming this week, Rainbirds should be up by next week (no concrete time yet) and I have three or four longer works coming together in bits and bobs now - I'm currently obsessed with mermaids, Costa Rican ground coffee and a jukebox that plays exactly the song that fits your mood, but is in no way magical.
